Bacteriostatic Water: Essential for Peptide Reconstitution and Its 28-Day Expiration Bacteriostatic Water: Essential for Peptide Reconstitution and Its 28-Day Expiration Introduction Bacteriostatic water plays a crucial role in the world of peptide research and therapy. As a sterile water solution containing a small amount of benzyl alcohol, it is specifically designed for dissolving peptides before administration. In this blog post, we will discuss the properties of bacteriostatic water, its importance in peptide reconstitution, and the significance of discarding it after 28 days. Understanding Bacteriostatic Water When it comes to peptide reconstitution, bacteriostatic water is the preferred solvent. The addition of benzyl alcohol, typically at a concentration of 0.9%, ensures that the solution remains sterile by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. Unlike regular sterile water, bacteriostatic water can be used multiple times, thanks t...
