Sterile water/bac.water

Description

Bacteriostatic Water is sterile water designed for the preparation and dilution of peptides and other laboratory compounds that require reconstitution before use. Bacteriostatic Water Philippines is widely used in laboratories because it contains a small amount of benzyl alcohol which helps maintain sterility after the vial has been opened.

Unlike standard sterile water, bacteriostatic water is formulated to slow the growth of bacteria inside the vial. This allows the same vial to be used multiple times while maintaining a sterile environment when proper laboratory handling procedures are followed.

For laboratories working with lyophilised peptides, bacteriostatic water provides a stable and convenient solution for dissolving powdered compounds into liquid form for precise measurement and handling.

What is Bacteriostatic Water

Bacteriostatic water is sterile water that contains 0.9 percent benzyl alcohol. This small amount of benzyl alcohol acts as a preservative that helps prevent bacterial growth within the vial after it has been opened.

The presence of benzyl alcohol is what distinguishes bacteriostatic water from standard sterile water. While sterile water must typically be used immediately after opening, bacteriostatic water can be used multiple times while maintaining sterility when stored correctly.

This makes it particularly useful when working with compounds that require precise dilution or repeated preparation.

Key Characteristics

• Sterile bacteriostatic water for peptide reconstitution
• Contains 0.9 percent benzyl alcohol preservative
• Helps maintain sterility after vial opening
• Suitable for dissolving lyophilised peptides
• Available in 3ml and 10ml sterile vials
• Laboratory grade sealed glass vials

Peptide Reconstitution

Many peptides are supplied in lyophilised powder form. Lyophilisation removes moisture from the compound to preserve stability during storage and transport.

Before use, the powdered compound must be reconstituted by adding sterile liquid to dissolve the peptide. Bacteriostatic water is commonly used for this process because it maintains a sterile environment while allowing accurate measurement of liquid volumes.

Using bacteriostatic water allows researchers to prepare solutions with precise concentrations that can be measured accurately using laboratory syringes.

Multi Use Vial Stability

One of the main advantages of bacteriostatic water is its ability to remain usable after the vial has been opened.

The benzyl alcohol preservative helps prevent bacterial growth inside the vial, allowing the solution to remain stable for multiple withdrawals when handled using sterile technique.

This makes bacteriostatic water a practical solution for laboratories that frequently prepare small volumes of peptide solutions over time.

Laboratory Handling and Storage

Maintaining sterile technique is essential when working with bacteriostatic water. The rubber stopper should always be cleaned with alcohol before withdrawing liquid, and sterile syringes should be used for each withdrawal.

Proper handling helps maintain the sterility of the vial and ensures the solution remains uncontaminated.

After opening, bacteriostatic water should be stored in a cool environment and protected from excessive heat or light exposure.
