Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) – For Research Use

Description:
Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution of water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. In research applications, BAC Water is commonly used as a solvent for reconstituting lyophilized peptide powders contained in vials. The bacteriostatic agent (benzyl alcohol) helps inhibit bacterial growth, extending the usability of the solution for multiple withdrawals under proper sterile conditions.

Research Significance

• Provides a reliable medium for reconstitution of peptide powders.
• Allows peptides to be dissolved into solution for laboratory handling and measurement.
• The benzyl alcohol content permits multiple uses from a single vial, as long as proper sterile technique is observed.

How It Is Used in Research

1. The desired volume of BAC Water is drawn into a sterile syringe.
2. The BAC Water is carefully injected into a vial containing lyophilized peptide powder.
3. The peptide vial is gently swirled (not shaken) until the powder is fully dissolved, creating a ready-to-use research solution.
