Molecular Details
Usage & Storage
Description
Sterile diluent with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, in a 3mL single-project vial.
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. The preservative suppresses microbial growth inside the vial, so the same vial can be drawn from repeatedly across a working window of roughly 28 days from first puncture when held at controlled room temperature. Plain sterile water carries no preservative and is intended for single use once opened. It is the standard diluent for returning lyophilised research peptides to solution. Freeze-dried peptide arrives as a solid cake and must be reconstituted before any in-vitro work; the diluent chosen affects the stability of the resulting solution and how long it stays usable. Reconstitution volume also sets the final concentration, which is why the calculation is normally done before the vial is broached rather than after. This 3mL presentation is sized for a single compound or a short project. Because bacteriostatic water has a finite in-use window once punctured, a smaller vial means less diluent held past the point where it should be discarded — the practical choice when reconstitution is occasional rather than routine. Laboratories preparing several compounds from one vial will generally find the 10mL presentation more economical. Supplied as a sterile, tamper-evident research vial. For in-vitro laboratory use only — not for human or animal consumption, and not for clinical or veterinary application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bacteriostatic Water legal to buy in Australia?
Bacteriostatic Water is supplied strictly as a research chemical for in-vitro laboratory use. It is not approved for human therapeutic use in Australia and is not for human or animal consumption. Researchers are responsible for compliance with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations and their institution's protocols.
Is Bacteriostatic Water third-party tested?
Yes. Bacteriostatic Water is independently tested for bacterial endotoxin by Ozcanium Analytics, an independent Australian laboratory: below 15.0 EU per vial by kinetic chromogenic LAL, analysed 24 August 2026 on lot APL-BAC10-2608-01, verification code OZ-ENDOTX-4APL. The report is published in full on this page, and the verification code can be redeemed in the laboratory's own portal, so the document is confirmed against their records rather than ours.
Where can I buy Bacteriostatic Water in Australia?
Bacteriostatic Water can be ordered here from Australian Peptide Labs for in-vitro research use, dispatched same day from within Australia.
Do you provide dosing or administration guidance for Bacteriostatic Water?
No. As these compounds are supplied for laboratory research only, we do not provide dosing or administration protocols. Our research library covers reconstitution and concentration calculations for in-vitro work.
