For laboratory research, bacteriostatic water (containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol) is the recommended solvent for reconstituting tissue repair peptides when multi-use is intended, as the benzyl alcohol helps maintain sterility
It was originally identified as a fragment derived from a larger protein found in human gastric juice, which sparked early scientific interest due to its unusual stability and biological activity under experimental conditions
Relative photoluminescence intensity was then calculated from the ration between intensity at each time point to the initial intensity before irradiation
