Bacteriostatic water, 3mL multi-use vial - sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol for reconstituting lyophilized research compounds.
Research Use Only:This compound is intended exclusively for in vitro laboratory research applications. Not for human or veterinary consumption.
Bacteriostatic Water (3mL) research overview
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. The preservative is what distinguishes it from sterile water for injection: it inhibits bacterial growth after the stopper has been punctured, which is what makes a vial usable across more than one withdrawal.
For laboratory work with lyophilized peptides, that property determines how a protocol is structured. A preservative-free diluent commits the researcher to using or discarding a reconstituted vial in a single session; a bacteriostatic diluent allows a reconstituted stock to be drawn from over a period of days provided it is stored correctly. The trade-off is that benzyl alcohol is not inert in every assay - it can interfere with some cell-based systems at the concentrations reached after dilution, and protocols sensitive to that use preservative-free water instead.
This is the 3mL vial, the smaller of the two sizes stocked. A 10mL vial is available where a single diluent vial needs to cover more work. Savage Labs does not specify a reconstitution volume or a working concentration for any listing; those are set by the protocol the material is used in. Store at room temperature. Supplied for laboratory reconstitution of research compounds only; not for human or veterinary use.

Questions about this listing
- What form does Bacteriostatic Water (3mL) come in?
Sterile Solution The size options listed on this page — 3mL — are what is available, and the vial labelling shown in the product images above is the reference for what a vial contains.
- How should Bacteriostatic Water (3mL) be stored?
Room temperature. Storage requirements differ across the catalog — some listings are refrigerated, others held at -20°C, others at room temperature — so read this row rather than assuming from a neighbouring product.
- Is Bacteriostatic Water (3mL) available in another size or format?
10mL vial. Compare the vial labelling in the product images on each listing before treating any two as interchangeable.
