The cost of the water is $4.80 following a 50% discount during the Summer End Sale season. It used to cost $9.60. The bottle contains distilled water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which is kept in a glass bottle closed with an elastomeric stopper and an aluminum crimp cap. The listing for the product has been checked, and the specification is confirmed with the real need you experience in the laboratory.

Bacteriostatic Water Overview

Bacteriostatic water is the preferred solvent for the reconstitution of lyophilized peptides. The 0.9% concentration of benzyl alcohol serves as a preservative through its ability to compromise the cell membrane of microorganisms hence stopping the growth of living cells. While it is true that it does not disinfect contaminated containers and that is significant. If the procedures involved were careless, the preservatives cannot offer any protection. Aseptic procedures in the lab are essential for controlling contamination.

Real Peptides makes this item in a cleanroom that controls the environment, leaving the vial's water completely sterile. However, inserting a needle changes things as new contaminants are introduced. The benzyl alcohol acts to prevent contamination from the time that the solution is drawn, provided that the stopper will be swabbed with alcohol prior to every draw and that the syringe is clean. Product code is RP-BAC10V. This item is shipped from either Florida or California and will take 2-4 business days for delivery.

What's Inside

• Base: Purified, sterile water
• Preservative: Benzyl alcohol at 0.9% w/v
• Additives: None (no buffers, no colorants, no excipients)
• Format: Multi-use vial

The composition is straightforward in that it consists of water and preservative. The multi-purpose version lets one use from the same vial while reconstituting multiple times, which is good if a person is using several vials of peptides within weeks. The presence of benzyl alcohol prevents microbes from breeding after each use, but does not make those that were already there disappear altogether.

How to Store and Handle

Room temperature storage away from direct light is essential when you have a sealed vial. Before breaking the seal of the bacteriostatic vial, there is no reason for it to be cooled. Once breaking the stopper for the first time, you need to maintain your vial at room temperature and use it within 28days. Mark the date of use with a marker on your vial so as not to forget it.

Before each drawing of the peptide, clean the rubber stopper with a new alcohol swab. Always use a new sterile syringe and do not reuse needles. When reconstituting a peptide, pull the bacteriostatic water into the syringe and inject it slowly along the inner wall of the peptide vial. Let the powder dissolve naturally. Shaking can degrade peptides. For first-time buyers, we explain the entire process in our beginner buying tips guide.

Our Verdict

The editorial rating given to Real Peptides Bacteriostatic Water 10ml was 4.5 out of 5. The score for testing is 4.5, while for the purity, it is 5.0. For labeling and value, the scores obtained are 4.5 and 4.5, respectively. The purity score is justified due to the use of USP-grade chemicals and the cleanroom filling process. Although priced at $4.80, the value for a solvent that has been correctly sealed and preserved cannot be outmatched.

No customer reviews exist on the product page at this time. That is not unusual for a commodity item like bacteriostatic water. The product does exactly what it claims to do. Pair it with a peptide like the Real Peptides BPC-157 10mg and you have the 2 essentials covered: peptide plus solvent.
