Reconstitution supplies for laboratory work with lyophilized research compounds.
Bacteriostatic water is supplied for reconstituting lyophilized research compounds. Check the vial size and preservative on the product page, and confirm it suits the protocol and storage conditions you are working under.
Bacteriostatic water differs from preservative-free sterile water in one respect that changes how a protocol is structured: the 0.9% benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth after the stopper is punctured, so a reconstituted stock can be drawn from across several days rather than used once. The trade-off is that benzyl alcohol is not inert in every assay, and cell-based systems sensitive to it need a preservative-free diluent instead. Two sizes are stocked: a 3mL vial for smaller single-vial work and a 10mL vial where one diluent vial needs to cover more of a session. Savage Labs supplies the diluent and does not specify a reconstitution volume or a working concentration for any listing — those are set by the protocol the material is used in.
Both listings are stored at room temperature and both are sterile solutions, so nothing here requires cold chain or reconstitution — the handling questions that apply to the rest of the catalog do not apply to the diluent itself. What does matter is the puncture date. Benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth after the stopper is first entered, which is what makes multiple withdrawals possible, but it does not make the vial indefinite; the useful window runs from first puncture rather than from receipt, and it is worth recording. The 3mL and 10mL vials contain the same solution and differ only in volume. Savage Labs supplies the diluent and does not specify how much of it to use for any listing.

Accessories Research Catalog questions
- What is listed under Accessories?
Two listings: Bacteriostatic Water (10mL) and Bacteriostatic Water (3mL). Each is grouped here by the research area its published literature addresses, not by any effect. Open a listing to read its description, the sizes offered and the specifications recorded for it.
- How are the listings under Accessories stored?
Every listing in this category records the same requirement — room temperature. The storage line on each product page is the one that governs, and it describes the material as supplied. Reconstituted and opened material is governed by the protocol it is used in, not by this catalog. How stable is a lyophilised peptide in storage? covers what temperature and residual moisture do to dried material.
- Which listings under Accessories need reconstitution?
Bacteriostatic Water (10mL) and Bacteriostatic Water (3mL) ship already in solution. Bacteriostatic water is stocked separately in 3mL and 10mL vials. Savage Labs does not specify a reconstitution volume, a working concentration, or a basis for calculating either — those are determined by the protocol the material is used in, not by this catalog.
- Where a compound under Accessories is listed at more than one size, how do the options compare?
Bacteriostatic Water (10mL) and Bacteriostatic Water (3mL) are the same material at two listed sizes. The specification recorded for each is the specification for that batch, so compare them on price per unit of material rather than price per vial — a larger vial is not a proportionally larger price, and the size options shown on each product page, together with the vial labelling in its images, are the reference for what a vial contains.
- What purity is reported across Accessories?
Every listing in this category with a purity figure records 99%+, as reported for the batch. A purity figure is a chromatographic measurement and does not on its own establish identity or how much peptide a vial holds — purity, identity and content are three separate measurements. Ask for the batch documentation covering the material you intend to order.
