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.

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.
