Reconstitution Solution 10ML

What Is Reconstitution Solution 10 mL (Bacteriostatic Water)?

Reconstitution Solution 10 mL is a sterile, non-pyrogenic aqueous medium containing 0.9–1.0 % benzyl alcohol (BAC) as a bacteriostatic preservative. This formulation is specifically engineered for laboratory and research applications requiring the reconstitution or dilution of lyophilized compounds, including peptides, growth factors, and other biologically active substances intended for analytical or experimental use.

Benzyl alcohol acts as a bacteriostatic agent, inhibiting microbial growth within the solution and thereby enabling multiple withdrawals from a single vial under sterile conditions. This makes it an optimal solvent system for laboratories conducting repeated peptide handling or dose-response trials.

Chemical Composition and Structure

Reconstitution Solution (BAC Water) consists of pharmaceutical-grade water for injection (WFI) blended with 1 % benzyl alcohol. This precise formulation provides both sterility and extended usability once the vial has been broached.

All Prax Peptides reagents undergo independent third-party analysis to verify purity, concentration accuracy, and absence of pyrogens or particulates. This ensures that researchers can confidently employ the solution in critical experimental workflows involving lyophilized or non-lyophilized peptide substrates.

Laboratory Use and Handling

To ensure experimental integrity and sterility:

1. Operate within a clean, aseptic workspace or biosafety cabinet.

2. Using a sterile syringe and needle, withdraw the measured volume of Reconstitution Solution required for the intended compound.

3. Inject the solvent slowly into the lyophilized peptide vial, directing the stream along the inner wall to minimize foaming.

4. Gently swirl until fully solubilized. Do not shake, as excessive agitation may denature peptide structures or disrupt tertiary folding.

5. Once dissolved, transfer the solution to a fresh sterile container or syringe for immediate research use or aliquot storage under controlled temperature.

Research Applications and Stability

Reconstitution Solution 10 mL is commonly used across molecular biology, pharmacological, and biochemical research settings to ensure precise solubilization and stability of sensitive analytes. The presence of benzyl alcohol maintains sterility for up to 28 days after initial entry, provided aseptic technique is maintained.

This reagent provides an ideal medium for controlled reconstitution, extended usability, and reproducible assay outcomes, supporting the highest standards of experimental reliability.
