Storage of Bacteriostatic Water

[Amu]

Is there an optimal temperature for storing bacteriostatic water? How does this differ from the optimal temperature for storing regular sterile water?

uh
if it has ba and its filtered, dont worry about it
if youre using it to reconstitute... keep that product refridged

So if I have a supply of extra bacteriostatic water, I can just leave it in my room? How long will it last? I know products usually last 3 weeks in the fridge after mixed with bacteriostatic water. But I'm guessing the water by itself should last much longer.

right those products expire after reconstitution, the product not the water.
i dont see why it would ever expire but most labels say 1 to 5 years for expiration.

Keep it in the fridge.

I keep getting conflicting information. Could someone else please clarify?

whats conflicting?
you dont need to keep it in the fridge until reconstitution.
keeping it in the fridge make possibly keep it good longer pre constitution but theres no reason you cant store it at room temp for at least a few years

If it's a vial of just bac water, you're fine storing it at room temp.

well seeing as how it is water, I imagine the shelf life would be indefinite. However, if you keep the water chilled for reconstituting purposes that would be good because that means there would be less time required for your reconstituted peptide to reach storage (i.e. refrigerated) temperature.

But it's just water, don't see how it could go bad just sitting around

its stagnant, the ba keeps it sterile, but ba doesnt stay in a perfect state forever, everything breaks down
ever buy bottled water? even that "expires"
