Description
Bacteriostatic water — laboratory diluent, 3 mL and 10 mL vials, Canada
Bacteriostatic water is sterile, filtered water to which 0.9% benzyl alcohol has been added as a preservative. The preservative is the whole point of the product: it lets a stoppered multi-dose vial be entered more than once during its labelled in-use period, where plain sterile water is a single-use item. This listing offers the vial in two fills, 3 mL and 10 mL, as a general-purpose laboratory diluent and consumable. It contains no peptide, no active ingredient and no buffer, and it is supplied for laboratory use only.

Documentation
Peptides on this site carry independent HPLC purity and mass-spectrometry identity reports because those tests answer questions about a peptide. Water does not need them. What matters for a diluent is that it is sterile, that its preservative content matches the label, and that the lot can be traced — so the documentation for this item is the lot number on the vial and the manufacturer’s specification. No lot-specific document is posted for this consumable in the COA library at the time of this review; if one is supplied it will be linked here.
Handling in the laboratory
- Before first use: check the printed expiry, the fill and the integrity of the cap and stopper; do not use a vial with a damaged seal, visible particles or cloudiness.
- Entering the vial: swab the stopper, use a new sterile needle and syringe each time, and draw only the volume needed. Write the date of first puncture on the label.
- In-use period: once the stopper has been entered, follow the in-use period stated on the manufacturer’s label and discard the vial at the end of it, even if liquid remains.
- Storage: sealed, at room temperature, out of direct sunlight; do not freeze. The preservative does not make the product sterile indefinitely, and it does nothing about contamination introduced by poor technique.
- Compatibility: whether benzyl alcohol suits a given experiment is the researcher’s decision; where a preservative-free diluent is required, use plain sterile water instead.
- Disposal: as laboratory waste under your facility’s rules; never pour down a sink with other reagents in it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I buy bacteriostatic water in Canada?
Yes. Shop Peptides Online supplies bacteriostatic water in 3 mL and 10 mL multi-dose vials as a laboratory consumable and ships it from inside Canada by Canada Post. It is sold for laboratory use only.
What is the difference between bacteriostatic water and sterile water?
Both are sterile, filtered water. Bacteriostatic water also contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, which is what allows a vial to be entered more than once within its labelled in-use period; plain sterile water has no preservative and is a single-use item.
Is there a COA for bacteriostatic water?
It is a consumable, not a peptide, so no HPLC purity or mass-spectrometry identity report applies. Documentation for this item is the lot number and the manufacturer’s specification (volume, preservative content, sterility). If a lot-specific document is supplied it will be linked here; none is posted at the time of this review.
How should bacteriostatic water be stored?
Sealed, at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and freezing; do not use past the printed expiry, and follow the label’s in-use period once the stopper has been punctured. Record the date of first entry on the vial.
Is bacteriostatic water for human use?
No. This listing is a laboratory consumable supplied for research use only, not for human or animal use. Shop Peptides Online provides no preparation, reconstitution, dosing or administration guidance.
