Why bacteriostatic water for reconstitution
Lyophilized research peptides ship as a dry powder and must be reconstituted into solution before use in an assay. Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, a preservative that suppresses microbial growth across repeated stopper entries — which is why it is the standard diluent for multi-dose research vials.
Available sizes
BluGen stocks bacteriostatic water in 3 mL and 10 mL fills per the fulfillment program — sized for single-vial reconstitution (3 mL) or labs running multiple SKUs from one bench bottle (10 mL). Choose the fill that matches your protocol volume without over-purchasing diluent.
How much to add
The volume of bacteriostatic water you add sets the working concentration of your reconstituted peptide. As a worked example, adding 2 mL of diluent to a 5 mg vial yields 2,500 mcg/mL; adding 1 mL yields 5,000 mcg/mL. Use the reconstitution calculator linked from every product page to convert a vial size and target concentration into an exact diluent volume.
Storage
Hold reconstituted, preserved peptide vials at 2-8 °C protected from light. Bacteriostatic water itself is stored at room temperature away from light until opened.
Documentation
Each lot ships with a fill record and a research-use-only disclosure. As a reconstitution supply rather than a peptide, bacteriostatic water is provided for laboratory handling of the research reagents in this catalog.

Storage and handling
Handle Bacteriostatic Water as a lyophilized research reagent: cold, dry, light-protected storage; choose reconstitution buffer per your SOP; plan aliquots to limit freeze–thaw; and keep the lot CoA with the inventory record.
Research framing
Use Bacteriostatic Water in published model-system terms only — receptor family, pathway context, assay controls, and concentration planning. Do not transfer assumptions from adjacent peptides without a documented comparison protocol. Research use only.

Product FAQ
Is Bacteriostatic Water intended for human or clinical use?
No. BluGen listings are research use only (RUO) for qualified laboratory programs — not clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, veterinary, food, drug, or cosmetic use.
What documentation ships with Bacteriostatic Water?
Each lot includes a certificate of analysis with HPLC purity, MS identity confirmation, and net peptide content. Verify lots in the CoA Library.
Where can I verify the current-lot CoA for Bacteriostatic Water?
Search by compound or lot number in the CoA Library: https://getblugen.com/coa-library/
What sequence is listed for Bacteriostatic Water?
Verify sequence identity on the lot-specific CoA and identity table before use.
How should lyophilized Bacteriostatic Water be stored?
Store sealed vials cold, dry, and protected from light per the lot CoA and your institutional SOP. Aliquot reconstituted stock to limit freeze-thaw cycles.
Can institutions request a quote for Bacteriostatic Water?
Yes. Academic labs and CROs can request quotes and NET-30 billing after vendor qualification via the contact/procurement desk.
