Laboratory supplies for reconstitution
The consumables a lyophilized vial needs before it can be used, starting with bacteriostatic reconstitution solution. Everything here is for laboratory use only.

What is bacteriostatic reconstitution solution?
Sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol added as a preservative, which is what makes a vial multi-dose rather than single-use. Plain sterile water has no preservative and should be regarded as single-use.
How much solution does a vial need?
It depends on the concentration you want. The reconstitution guide works through the volumes and the concentration table lists the result for every vial size in this catalogue.
Why is there no certificate for these?
The certificate library holds reports for lyophilized lots: a laboratory takes a sample of the dry powder and measures identity, purity, content and endotoxin on it. The products in this category are a lab supplies, not lyophilized vials, so they are not represented there. For a lot report on a solution, strip or supply, email support with the lot printed on the pack and we will send the one that matches it.
If you are comparing formats, the practical point is that a weighed amount from a lyophilized vial is what a quantitative assay starts from: a measured mass dissolved to a known concentration, as the concentration table sets out. A metered solution or a film strip delivers a nominal amount per actuation or per unit, which is a different kind of number.
Common questions about lab supplies
Is the reconstitution solution sterile?
It is supplied as a sealed, sterile multi-dose vial. Swab the stopper before each draw.
Do supplies count toward free shipping?
Yes. Free shipping applies to any order over $1,000, supplies included.
