Research overview
Sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative, packaged in a 30 mL multi-dose vial with a rubber stopper. The preservative inhibits bacterial growth in a reconstituted vial that is accessed more than once, which is why it is the standard diluent for lyophilized peptides in laboratory use.
