Description

Safe Vials Acetic Water is a laboratory-grade, dilute 0.6% acetic acid solution formulated specifically as an acidified reconstitution diluent for lyophilized peptides that display poor solubility or aggregation in neutral-pH solvent systems. Basic and highly hydrophobic peptide sequences frequently resist complete dissolution in standard sterile or bacteriostatic water, leaving visible particulate residue or persistent cloudiness.

By lowering the reconstitution environment to a controlled, mildly acidic pH (3.0 – 4.0), Safe Vials Acetic Water protonates basic amino acid residues, increasing electrostatic repulsion and disrupting self-association. This ensures rapid, complete dissolution into a clear, homogenous working stock. Supplied in a single-use, preservative-free format, it eliminates additive interference in delicate cellular assays and downstream experimental protocols.


Compound Information

  • Product Name: Safe Vials Acetic Water

  • Classification: Acidified Reconstitution Solvent / Reagent Diluent

  • CAS Registry Number: 64-19-7 (Acetic Acid) / 7732-18-5 (Water)

  • Chemical Composition: 0.6% Acetic Acid (v/v) in High-Purity Sterile Water

  • Chemical Formula: CH₃COOH in H₂O

  • Approximate pH: 3.0 – 4.0

  • Preservative: None (Preservative-free, single-use format)


Research Highlights

  • Enhanced Peptide Solubility: Drives rapid solubilization of hydrophobic and basic peptide sequences that fail to fully dissolve in neutral-pH aqueous solutions.

  • Mitigation of Peptide Aggregation: Prevents self-association and clumping during reconstitution, ensuring uniform concentration distribution across experimental aliquots.

  • Volatile Buffer Solvent: Acetic acid is volatile, allowing for straightforward removal via standard laboratory lyophilization if downstream assays demand solvent exchange.

  • Preservative-Free Formulation: Formulated without benzyl alcohol or organic preservatives, preventing potential chemical interference in sensitive biological or enzymatic assays.

  • Standardized Diluent Quality: Reagent-grade consistency reduces batch-to-batch solvent variability across long-term research projects.

  • Broad Sequence Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of hydrophobic fragments, antimicrobial peptides, and basic synthetic sequences requiring acidic solubilization.


Product Specifications

Research Studies

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your peptides lab tested?

Yes, all our products are tested by third-party laboratories.
COAs are available per batch.

Why is my peptide not dissolving properly?

Some peptides dissolve slower than others.
Using bacteriostatic water or first adding a small amount of acetic acid can improve dissolution.

Why does my peptide look different?

Peptides can appear as powder, flakes, or a solid “puck”.
This is normal and caused by the freeze-drying process — it does not affect quality.

How should I store peptides?

  • Long-term: freezer (-18 to -20°C)
  • After mixing: refrigerator (2–8°C)
  • Always keep away from light and heat

Are your products for human consumption?

No. All products are sold strictly for research purposes only.
They are not intended for human or animal use.

Do you offer refunds or reships?

We handle issues case-by-case.
If there is a problem with your order (damage, delivery issue), we will always work towards a solution including reshipment where appropriate.
