Bacteriostatic Water
Bacteriostatic Water for Injection is a sterile, non-pyrogenic aqueous solution containing a small amount of benzyl alcohol (typically 0.9%) as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is designed for the reconstitution and dilution of peptides, proteins, and other compounds in research applications. Unlike sterile water, bacteriostatic water inhibits microbial growth, allowing for multiple withdrawals from the same vial under proper aseptic conditions.

Questions
Bacteriostatic Water Common Questions
What’s pIC50?
pIC50 is the negative log of the IC50 value when converted to molar.That is, pIC50=-log(IC50).
What’s Kd?
Dissociation consent (Kd) reflects the affinity of a compound for its target. In some cases, it can be equivalent to Ki.

METHODS: Bacteriostatic Water was used as a diluent for peptide and protein reconstitution in cell culture experiments. Stability and sterility were evaluated during repeated withdrawals under aseptic conditions.
RESULTS: Bacteriostatic Water provides a stable and contamination-resistant medium for compound preparation. The presence of benzyl alcohol inhibits microbial growth, enabling multi-dose use. It maintains compatibility with a wide range of peptides and proteins when used under standard laboratory conditions. No significant cytotoxic effects are observed at appropriate dilution levels. [1]
