Bacteriostatic Water Australia | Laboratory Supplies
Bacteriostatic water is one of the most commonly used laboratory supplies in peptide research. It is water containing a small amount of benzyl alcohol, a preservative that helps limit bacterial growth once a vial has been opened — making it a standard choice in Australian labs for reconstituting lyophilised research peptides. Our bacteriostatic water is Australian-made.
Our bacteriostatic water is available in 3ml and 10ml vials, with independent third-party testing.
What Is Bacteriostatic Water?
Bacteriostatic water is purified water with approximately 0.9% benzyl alcohol added. The benzyl alcohol acts as a bacteriostatic agent, meaning it slows the growth of bacteria rather than killing them outright, which allows a vial to be accessed more than once in a laboratory setting.
