Bacteriostatic water
About this compound
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, which is what allows a vial to be entered more than once without the contents supporting microbial growth. It is supplied in 3 ml, 7 ml and 10 ml vials and is a consumable, not a peptide.
