In research applications, the pH of bacteriostatic water (averaging 5.7) is generally compatible with the stability profiles of most peptide structures, allowing for extended storage of reconstituted solutions at 28C compared to sterile water alone
Sterile water typically contains no bacteriostat or antimicrobial agent and is commonly supplied as single-dose
In plain terms, while the raw percentage increases varied, the variation could easily be explained by chance rather than a true superiority of one method over another
The storage rules are identical to what's described above but here are a few Hospira-specific details worth knowing: Keep the original cardboard box
In medical and laboratory settings, "water" is not simply HO
For example, if a patient needs 2500 mcg and the vial has 1000 mcg/mL, you need 2.5 mL
