    Questions

    What is bacteriostatic water?
    Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The benzyl alcohol is a preservative that holds back bacterial growth, which is why a bacteriostatic vial can be used more than once. It is the standard diluent for lyophilised (freeze-dried) research peptides.
    What is the difference between bacteriostatic water and sterile water?
    Sterile water has no preservative, so it is meant to be used once and the rest discarded. Bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, so the same vial can be used again.
    Which size should I choose?
    The 3 ml and 10 ml vials are the smaller formats and the cheapest way to add water to an order. The 30 ml vials from Hospira and Genetek are multi-dose vials from established manufacturers, for researchers who prefer a larger, branded vial.
    How should bacteriostatic water be stored?
    Keep unopened vials at room temperature, away from direct light. Once a vial is opened, follow the storage and discard guidance printed on its label.
    How quickly will it arrive?
    Can I add bacteriostatic water to a peptide order?
    Yes. There is no minimum, and it counts towards free UK delivery and the multi-buy discount on UK Express orders.
