Bacteriostatic Water: Essential for Peptide Reconstitution and Research

Bacteriostatic water is a sterile, multi-use solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, designed to inhibit bacterial growth and maintain sterility. It is widely used in laboratories for reconstituting peptides, dissolving powdered substances, and preparing injectable solutions. The inclusion of benzyl alcohol ensures the solution remains stable and safe for repeated use, as long as sterile techniques are followed. Unlike standard sterile water, bacteriostatic water is uniquely formulated to prevent bacterial contamination, making it a preferred choice for research and medical applications.

Key Features and Benefits – Bacteriostatic Water

• Sterile and Safe: Contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol to prevent bacterial growth, ensuring long-term stability.
• Multi-Use Convenience: Can be accessed multiple times with a sterile needle, reducing waste and cost.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), and subcutaneous (SC) injections when mixed with compatible substances.
• Superior to Antibacterial Agents: Benzyl alcohol is less likely to cause adverse reactions compared to other antibacterial additives, making it ideal for sensitive applications.

When to Avoid Bacteriostatic Water
While bac water is highly effective, it is not suitable for all situations. Avoid using it in the following cases:

• Neonates: Not recommended for newborns under four weeks old due to potential benzyl alcohol toxicity.
• Epidurals and Spinal Anesthesia: Should not be used for these procedures.
• Hydration Purposes: Not a substitute for lost fluids from sweating or urination.
• Direct Injection: Must be isotonic before direct injection to prevent hemolysis, a condition where red blood cells rupture due to osmotic imbalance.

Special Considerations

• Pregnancy and Pediatrics: Limited research exists on the effects of benzyl alcohol on fetuses and pediatric patients. Use with caution and only when absolutely necessary.
• Research Use Only: This product is intended solely for laboratory research purposes and is not for human consumption, medical, veterinary, or household use.
