Description
Bacteriostatic Water
Bacteriostatic water is a sterile solution used in a research context to inject a diluted or dissolved compound into experimental models. Bacteriostatic water works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, adding a 0.9% benzyl alcohol or salt solution into sterile water.
Bacteriostatic water is preferred for the dilution of peptides due to its ability to prevent bacterial growth. This is important when peptides are stored for a longer period, ensuring the solution remains sterile and effective.
