Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides must be properly reconstituted before use in research applications. This comprehensive guide covers bacteriostatic water, step-by-step reconstitution, calculations, and best practices. --- Bacteriostatic water (BAC water) is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. This solution is specifically formulated for laboratory settings and is the industry standard for reconstituting lyophilized peptides. | Property | Description | |----------|-------------| | Sterility | USP-grade sterile water meeting pharmaceutical standards | | Preservative | 0.9% benzyl alcohol prevents bacterial and fungal growth | | Multi-Use | Can be used multiple times while maintaining sterility | | pH Balance | Neutral pH suitable for peptide solutions | - Unopened: 24-36 months from manufacture date - After Opening: Use within 30-60 days - Storage: Room temperature (68-77°F), away from direct sunlight Plain sterile water should only be used f
