Bacteriostatic Water for Peptide Reconstitution: What Researchers Need to Know
Bacteriostatic Water for Peptide Reconstitution: What Researchers Need to Know Bacteriostatic water (BAC water) is the standard solvent used to reconstitute lyophilized research peptides. It looks identical to sterile water, but the difference matters for research integrity. What makes it “bacteriostatic”? Bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which inhibits bacterial growth in a multi-use vial….
