Ethanoic / Acetic acid 0.6% – sterile laboratory solution 10 ml — 8,00 €In the Peptology category “Solvents for Peptides” you will find specialised laboratory solvents designed for the safe and stable dissolution (reconstitution) of lyophilised research peptides and hormones. Each solvent has a specific profile adapted to the chemical stability and hydrophobicity of the amino acid sequences under study.
The products in this category are purchased online in Cyprus, with delivery within 5–7 working days.
Unlike ordinary Sterile Water for Injection (SWFI), which is intended for single use only, our specialised formulas have been developed for multiple withdrawals from the same vial in a laboratory environment, providing reliable protection against microbial contamination and structural degradation of expensive research components.
To meet the needs of every laboratory protocol, we offer three different categories of stabilising solutions — from the classic reference standard to innovative multi-component systems and specialised acidic solvents.
The premium choice in the category. A multi-component solvent that does not merely preserve but actively protects the molecule from denaturation, pH changes and aggregation. It uses a phosphate buffer, mannitol, m-Cresol and surfactants (PEG 600 + Tween 80). It ensures maximum stability for up to 60 days after opening.
The classic laboratory standard. A sterile, non-pyrogenic aqueous solution containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) benzyl alcohol as a preservative. It is intended for multiple reconstitutions of stable peptides, effectively suppressing bacterial growth for up to 28 days after the first puncture of the vial.
A highly specialised solvent. Developed specifically for poorly soluble, hydrophobic (water-repellent) or strongly basic peptides. The finely tuned acidic environment modifies the surface charge of the molecules and prevents irreversible clumping or gel formation.
The table below shows why the premium solvent Peptide Matrix Water™ is superior to conventional options and when a specialised acidic solvent is necessary.
| Characteristic | Peptide Matrix Water™ | Bacteriostatic Water | Acetic Acid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Maximum protection and long-term storage | Standard dissolution of basic molecules | Poorly soluble / hydrophobic peptides |
| Antimicrobial preservative | m-Cresol (pharmaceutical grade) | Benzyl alcohol 0.9% | Controlled acidic environment |
| pH stabilisation | Yes (active phosphate buffer) | No (passive pH, risk of acidity) | Controlled low pH for solubility |
| Protection against aggregation | Excellent (PEG 600 + Tween 80) | No protection | Partial (through electric charge) |
| Shelf life of the solution after opening | Up to 60 days | Up to 28 days | Depends on the peptide being tested |
Different peptide structures react in different ways when they come into contact with liquid media. Choosing the right solvent ensures the accuracy of your scientific research:
1. Advanced Protection with Peptide Matrix Water™: The innovative solvent Peptide Matrix Water™ is the most advanced solution on the market, designed for long-term storage of sensitive research compounds. Its patented four-part composition maintains a stable physiological pH and actively prevents denaturation and the physical sticking of amino acids. Thanks to the pharmaceutical-grade m-Cresol, the solvent provides reliable bacteriostatic protection for up to 60 days, making it the ideal choice for expensive and unstable incretin mimetics.
2. Laboratory Standard with Bacteriostatic Water 10ml: The classic Bacteriostatic Water 10ml remains the global gold standard for everyday laboratory work with shorter and structurally stable peptide chains. The optimal 0.9% concentration of benzyl alcohol acts as a strong antimicrobial shield that effectively halts the growth of pathogens within 28 days of first opening. This solvent combines proven reliability with excellent cost-effectiveness for everyday scientific analyses.
3. Acidic Reconstitution with Acetic Acid (Ethanoic / Acetic acid): When the research requires handling of strongly hydrophobic molecules, conventional aqueous media prove ineffective. The specialised acetic acid is a precisely balanced solvent that lowers the pH of the medium to levels that allow full and clear solubilisation. It is an essential tool for preventing gel formation and precipitation of specific amino acid structures during experiments.
All solvents must be stored at controlled room temperature (20–25 °C), away from direct sunlight. After the first puncture of the vial, make sure to note the date on the label:
Important warning: The products in this category are intended exclusively for laboratory research and in vitro scientific analyses. They are not medicinal products and are not suitable for therapeutic use in humans or animals. The content of preservatives such as m-Cresol and benzyl alcohol is extremely toxic to neonates.
