BACTERIOSTATIC WATER
CA$10.00
Bacteriostatic Water for Injection (BWFI) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution used primarily for the reconstitution (mixing) and dilution of peptides and medications.
It contains a small amount of benzyl alcohol (0.9%), which acts as a preservative.
Key Components
- Sterile Water (USP-grade)
Ultra-purified water safe for medical/research use - 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol
Prevents the growth of bacteria (bacteriostatic agent)
What “Bacteriostatic” Means
- “Bacterio” = bacteria
- “Static” = stops growth
It does NOT kill bacteria, but prevents them from multiplying, which helps maintain sterility after opening.
Primary Uses
- Reconstituting peptides (like lyophilized powders)
- Diluting compounds to accurate concentrations
- Multi-dose applications (can be used multiple times safely when handled properly)
Why It’s Preferred
✔ Maintains sterility over multiple uses
✔ Reduces contamination risk
✔ Stable and reliable for lab/research settings
✔ Ideal for peptide handling and preparation
