Purchase Bacteriostatic 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol 30mL for Research Use

This bacteriostatic benzyl alcohol solution is commonly used in laboratory environments as a preservative and solvent for peptide reconstitution. Designed for multi-dose vial applications, it helps limit microbial growth during repeated access, making it suitable for extended experimental workflows requiring consistent sterility.

Composition and Antimicrobial Function

The formulation consists of benzyl alcohol at 4.5% (w/v) in a 0.9% sodium chloride solution prepared to USP standards. The benzyl alcohol component provides bacteriostatic activity against a range of common laboratory microorganisms, including species of Staphylococcus, E. coli, and Bacillus. This composition supports both peptide solubility and microbial control in research settings, with consistent sterility and quality across batches.

Research Applications

This solution is widely used for reconstituting lyophilized peptides and maintaining multi-use vials during longer experimental procedures. It is suitable for a variety of in vitro protocols where sterile technique and solution stability are essential. Researchers rely on it for preparing and preserving peptide solutions under controlled laboratory conditions.
