Reconstitution
and handling, complete.

Bacteriostatic water and sterile water for injection, pharmacopoeial-grade reconstitution diluents specified to match the integrity of the freeze-dried peptides they accompany. Available on the same dispatch as research compound orders as a procurement convenience for buyers who would otherwise source them separately.

No. 01 Bacteriostatic Water · 10ml multi-dose vial €9.50
Format
10ml glass vial, sealed multi-dose
Composition
0.9% benzyl alcohol in water for injection
Use
Reconstitution diluent for freeze-dried peptides
Storage
Room temperature, sealed
Shelf life
28 days after first puncture, at 2 to 8°C
Lot
26-W1, sterile-filled

The conventional reconstitution diluent for freeze-dried peptide vials. The benzyl alcohol preservative permits repeated withdrawals from a single source over the working life of the reconstituted compound.

Sourced from a European licensed pharmaceutical compounder under standard ampoule manufacturing controls. Supplied for laboratory research use, not for human or veterinary administration.

No. 02 Sterile Water (Reconstitution) · 30ml ampoule, preservative-free €14.00
Format
30ml glass ampoule, single-use
Composition
Water for injection, preservative-free
Use
Preservative-free diluent for protocols incompatible with benzyl alcohol
Storage
Room temperature, sealed
Shelf life
Single-use after opening; discard remainder
Lot
26-W2, sterile-filled

Preservative-free sterile water for laboratory protocols where benzyl alcohol presence would interfere with downstream analytical measurement. Single-use ampoule format.

Use this rather than bacteriostatic water when the reconstituted peptide will be measured on mass spectrometry, when the experimental protocol requires preservative-free conditions, or when the working volume is consumed in one session.

Why this category exists

Pharmacopoeial-grade diluents on the same dispatch.

Researchers ordering a freeze-dried peptide also need a reconstitution diluent. Most research suppliers leave this seam open and the buyer runs a separate procurement for a small bottle of bacteriostatic water through a pharmacy or another supplier. Cresten stocks two pharmacopoeial-grade diluents alongside the compound catalogue, available on the same dispatch as a procurement convenience for buyers who would otherwise source them separately.

Quality specifications for the diluents listed here are pharmaceutical-grade. Bacteriostatic water is sourced to pharmacopoeial benzyl alcohol concentration of 0.9 percent. Sterile water for injection is preservative-free, single-use, ampoule-packaged. Researchers requiring precision microvolume measurement instruments (Hamilton-style microsyringes, calibrated micropipettes, autopipettes) procure these through standard laboratory supply channels, where ISO/IEC 17025 traceable calibration certificates are part of the standard offering.

Cresten Labs does not offer guidance on which diluent is appropriate for a given research design. Researchers select against the published characterisation of the compound under study and the experimental requirements of the protocol at hand. The catalogue is structured to make that selection efficient when the choice is already known.
