About Bacteriostatic Water

Bacteriostatic water is sterile water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The preservative suppresses bacterial growth, which is what allows a vial to be entered more than once: a peptide reconstituted with bacteriostatic water can be stored and drawn from over a period of weeks, where the same peptide in plain sterile water is a single-session preparation.

Used for

Reconstituting lyophilized peptides that dissolve cleanly at neutral pH, which covers most of this catalogue; preparing working dilutions from a stock solution; and rinsing between preparations. Sequences that resist neutral water, several of the growth-hormone and IGF-family peptides among them, are normally taken up in dilute acetic acid first and diluted from there.

Supplied in sealed glass vials, sterile filtered, by the same manufacturers that supply our peptides. There is no purity assay to publish here the way there is for a peptide; what matters is sterility and the benzyl alcohol concentration, specified by the manufacturer at 0.9%.

Store at room temperature away from direct light. Nothing here needs refrigerating and nothing here needs reconstituting; it is what you reconstitute with. UK orders placed before 2pm on business days are dispatched the same day in discreet, protective packaging with tracked delivery.

Store at room temperature. Keep away from light.

How fast is UK delivery?

Orders placed and paid before 2pm on a business day (Monday to Friday, excluding UK public holidays) are dispatched the same day via Royal Mail Tracked 24 in discreet, protective packaging, and arrive usually the next working day after dispatch. Standard shipping is £4.99, free on orders over £80, and orders over £120 arrive with a free research vial. We ship within the United Kingdom only.

Can I change my mind and return an order?

If you are buying as a consumer, yes: you have 14 days from delivery to cancel, without giving a reason, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Tell us within 14 days, send the sealed vials back within 14 days, and we refund the goods plus the original delivery charge within 14 days. Return postage is at your cost unless the item was faulty or wrong. Opened vials are the one exception: our vials are sealed sterile, and regulation 28(3)(b) puts sealed goods that cannot be resold once unsealed, for health and hygiene reasons, outside the cancellation right.

Is this for human use?

No. It is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research by qualified professionals, and it is not intended for human or veterinary use.
