3mL Bacteriostatic Water

Bacteriostatic Water (3mL) is a sterile, preserved aqueous solution formulated with 0.9% benzyl alcohol to prevent microbial contamination after the vial seal has been penetrated. This compact-volume diluent is engineered for precision reconstitution of individual lyophilized research peptides where smaller working volumes are preferred. The 3mL format is particularly advantageous for single-vial reconstitution protocols, minimizing waste and enabling researchers to achieve precise concentration targets for experimental assays without excess solvent.

In laboratory practice, this sterile solvent is routinely employed to dissolve peptide powders into homogeneous solutions suitable for use in cell-based assays, receptor binding experiments, enzyme kinetics studies, and analytical chemistry workflows. The benzyl alcohol preservative allows for multiple needle punctures while maintaining an environment that inhibits bacterial proliferation, supporting protocols that require repeated small-volume aliquots from a single vial over the course of multiple experimental sessions within the defined use period.

Quality control testing for each lot includes sterility assays, endotoxin screening via the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) method, and pH verification. The product is sealed under aseptic conditions in a Type I borosilicate glass vial to ensure chemical inertness and long-term stability.
