An Acidified Diluent, Not Everyday Bacteriostatic Water
This ZPHC vial holds 11mL of sterile water with two additions: the familiar 0.9% benzyl alcohol preservative and 0.6% acetic acid. The acid lowers the pH of the solution, and that is the whole reason it exists as a separate product.
Most laboratory work does not need it. Remy Research's guides treat dilute acetic acid as a fallback solvent for peptides that will not dissolve in water, not as a default. If your written method names ordinary bacteriostatic water, the standard ZPHC 11mL vial is the matching product.
Why Acetic Acid Turns Up in Peptide Lab Work
Helping basic peptides dissolve
Our peptide stability and storage guide notes that a small amount of dilute acetic acid can be added for basic peptides that resist aqueous solvents, adjusting pH to improve solubility.
pH and peptide stability
The same guide reports that many peptides are most stable at slightly acidic pH, roughly 4.0 to 5.0, and that pH extremes speed up hydrolysis.
Confirm compatibility first
Acid is not harmless to every compound. The bacteriostatic water guide advises checking acetic acid compatibility against the specific peptide before relying on it. The benzyl alcohol in this vial brings its own sensitivities, discussed in bacteriostatic vs sterile water.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 0.6% acetic acid change?
It makes the solution acidic. Standard bacteriostatic water contains the same 0.9% benzyl alcohol but no acid.
Should I pick this over standard bacteriostatic water?
Only when your method explicitly names an acidified diluent. Otherwise the plain ZPHC 11mL or 40mL vial is the right match.
Does the acidified version still contain a preservative?
Yes. Benzyl alcohol at 0.9% is present alongside the acetic acid, so the vial remains bacteriostatic.
Has Remy Research published a test report for this diluent?
No batch report exists for this product at the moment. Our published reports are collected on the lab results page.
Where can I buy bacteriostatic water with acetic acid in Dubai?
Through Remy Research. A Dubai order received before 4 PM is dispatched that day, with most reaching their destination within four hours, while an order for elsewhere in the UAE placed before noon lands the following day. Fees are listed on the delivery page.
Is this diluent meant for people or animals?
No. Remy Research sells it only for in-vitro laboratory research, never for human or veterinary use.
