What is bacteriostatic water used for?

Bacteriostatic water is the sterile diluent used to reconstitute lyophilized (freeze-dried) research peptides. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol is bacteriostatic, so a vial can be drawn from across multiple sessions rather than a single use. For laboratory research use only.

As a 3 mL vial of 0.9% benzyl alcohol in water for injection, EU-stocked and shipped with your order. It should be used only in an appropriate laboratory setting following your own validated protocol.

Bacteriostatic Water

Bacteriostatic water from RetaNord is a 3 mL sterile diluent with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, €5 when added to an order. It is used to reconstitute lyophilised research peptides, and an opened vial stays usable for weeks in the fridge.

The standard diluent researchers use to bring lyophilized peptides back into solution. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol is bacteriostatic — it lets a vial be drawn from across multiple sessions rather than a single use.

What it's for

Research peptides ship as a freeze-dried (lyophilized) powder for stability. Before they can be measured or studied they have to be reconstituted — dissolved back into a liquid. Bacteriostatic water is the diluent of choice: the 0.9% benzyl alcohol suppresses bacterial growth, so a reconstituted vial stays usable for weeks in the fridge instead of a single sitting.

One 3 mL vial reconstitutes several peptide vials, depending on the concentration you're targeting. Use the reconstitution calculator to work out the exact draw for your dose.

Bacteriostatic Water — questions

Bacteriostatic vs sterile water — what's the difference?

Sterile water has no preservative, so a reconstituted vial should be used quickly. Bacteriostatic water adds 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which suppresses microbial growth and allows multiple draws from the same vial over time — the reason it's the lab standard for multi-use peptide vials.

How much do I use?

It depends on the concentration you want. More diluent means a lower concentration per unit drawn. The reconstitution calculator converts any target dose into an exact syringe draw.

Does it ship with my Retatrutide?

Yes — add it at checkout and it ships in the same box, under the same free-shipping-over-€200 threshold.
