Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol)

Bacteriostatic Water for Injection (USP) in a 3ml multi-use vial contains 0.9% (9 mg/mL) benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. The smaller 3ml vial format is ideal for research applications requiring smaller volumes of reconstitution solvent, reducing waste when reconstituting smaller quantities of lyophilised peptide compounds. The benzyl alcohol preservative inhibits bacterial growth, allowing multiple reconstitutions from a single vial over an extended period — typically up to 28 days after initial puncture. Like the 10ml format, the 3ml bacteriostatic water is USP grade, ensuring sterility, non-pyrogenicity, and appropriate pH for reconstitution of sensitive peptide compounds. The 3ml vial is the preferred format for researchers working with single or small batches of peptide vials, where a 10ml bac water vial would provide more solvent than needed and risk exceeding the 28-day usage window before depletion.
