What is the difference?

[SassyPants]

I have eDNA labs reconstitution solution here. 30ml bottle that reads .9% Benzyl Alcohol added. I know Hospira is the gold standard but I’m curious to know what is the difference?

Everything I’ve read re: Hospira, it's the .9% Benzyl Alcohol that makes it safe for repeated use. If recon solution has this added, would it still work fine?

I did search but couldn’t find an answer.

Thanks in advance.🙋🏼‍♀️

Bacteriostatic is not the same as bactericidal, and when Joe Edna is mixing up his "solution" in the kitchen with tap water that's full of contaminants .9% benzyl alcohol is not going to do anything to change that so the microbes and bacteria happily live on.

There are very specific parameters that define when water for injection is sterile, and even using distilled water does not meet those parameters.

Honestly I remain puzzled at why people think it's worth the risk of getting their "BAC water" at Amazon. It's as if there's this bizarre rationalization of "I'm saving thousands of dollars by using peptides that - while a risk - are routinely tested to ensure some degree of safety, but for the water that I inject them with it's even more important to save that extra $5 or $10 on top of those thousands for a product that's probably never been tested and has no information about who, where, and how it was produced".

The difference is, one is FDA approved for being injected into humans. This is the list of tests required, but doesn't even touch on the amount of research that went into the hospira container.

Thank you.☺️ I appreciate the explanation. It was given to me and just sort of sitting in my basement because I’d never heard of it. I’d been meaning to ask and kept forgetting about it.

Appreciate this! Thanks. I’ve only ever used Hospira brand. This solution was given to me with an order Id place for peps and I’d never heard of it tbh.

I think most people aren't actually aware of what the difference is between bacteriostatic and bactericidal or what part the benzyl alcohol plays so it's all good. On my never ending list of things I want to accomplish for this site is putting together a number of write-ups to help make these exact kind of things more easily understandable for folks, especially when most are already overwhelmed with the amount of knowledge they find themselves having to take in.

That would be fabulous!
