Bacteriostatic water, laboratory diluent
Research-use notice: This article summarizes published scientific literature for educational purposes. It is not medical advice and does not provide dosing, administration or human-use information. Findings described in the literature do not apply to any BlueNex Labs product, which is supplied only for in-vitro laboratory research and not for human or animal use.
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.
For the live SKU, see Hospira bacteriostatic water 30 mL, limited to one bottle per order. No certificate row is published for that bottle. 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.
