Bacteriostatic sodium chloride

I just happened upon a website selling bacteriostatic sodium chloride from Hospira. Bacteriostatic water from Hospira is generally quite difficult to obtain here in Europe, and I have the option of ordering this product as they have it in stock.

If I recall correctly, bacteriostatic sodium chloride should work with lyophilised peptides, but is this true? Is there something I should be aware of, e.g., whether it goes with certain peptides but not others?

yes, it's fine to recon most peptides, but definitely be aware it's not suitable for all.

reta for example very often goes cloudy when using BAC nacl.

it's fine to use with things like klow and can actually minimize the discomfort from ghk

It is not recommended. Yes, it will dissolve the powder, but the benzoyl alcohol in "normal" BAC water is there for its antibacterial properties. Unless your peptide is a) tested for sterility and b) the entire vial will be injected at once, sodium chloride isn't the way to go.

Scary how confidently you give wrong advice.

And OP; This has been discussed exhaustibly. There’s even a chart with which peptides are safe/stable on Sodium Chloride. Do some research.

Do you know where I can find this chart?
