Bacteriostatic water, laboratory diluent
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing benzyl alcohol so a multi-puncture laboratory vial stays preserved after the first opening. It is a solvent specification. It is not an administration kit, and ordering it beside a peptide does not change the research-use-only status of either line. This page does not list mixing ratios.
The live SKU is Hospira bacteriostatic water 30 mL, limited to one bottle per order. The library anchor is certificates#hospira-bacteriostatic-water-30ml. Read the fill size on that report. Handling notes are what bacteriostatic water is for labs and storage in Canada. Procurement context, including the quantity cap, is the Interac and Xpresspost guide.
Frequently asked questions
- Is bacteriostatic water a peptide?
- No. It is a diluent: sterile water with benzyl alcohol. It lives on the lab-supplies category, not on a receptor hub.
- How many Hospira 30 mL bottles can one order include?
- One. The cap applies to that SKU only. It is not a direction for how a laboratory uses the bottle.
