Product Overview

Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) is sterile, preservative-containing water designed for reconstitution of research-grade peptides, proteins, and other compounds. The benzyl alcohol preservative inhibits bacterial growth, allowing multiple uses from a single vial under controlled laboratory conditions.

Note:

• For laboratory research use only.

• Not intended for human consumption or therapeutic use.

• Handling by trained research professionals is required.

Please see our blog for more information on proper peptide reconstitution and storage.

Indications (Research Purposes Only)

Bacteriostatic Water is intended for preclinical and laboratory research on:

• Reconstitution of peptides and proteins

• Preparation of sterile solutions for in vitro studies

• Research requiring multi-use sterile diluents

• Maintaining peptide integrity during short-term storage

---

Mechanism of Action

• Solvent Function: Provides a sterile medium for dissolving lyophilized peptides and compounds.

• Preservative Function: Benzyl alcohol (0.9%) prevents bacterial contamination, enabling multiple withdrawals from a single vial.

• Stability Support: Minimizes microbial growth, helping maintain peptide/protein integrity during storage and experimental use.

Observed Research Benefits (Summary)

• Safe, sterile medium for peptide reconstitution

• Allows multi-use vials under controlled laboratory conditions

• Maintains peptide stability during short-term research handling

• Reduces risk of contamination compared to sterile water

Findings are limited to non-human research use.
