BAC Water

Description

Research area: Sterile peptide reconstitution reagent

Product Description

BAC Water (bacteriostatic water) is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, used to reconstitute lyophilized research peptides under sterile laboratory conditions. The benzyl alcohol acts as a bacteriostatic agent that limits microbial growth, so a reconstituted research vial can be drawn from multiple times while maintaining sterility. It is supplied strictly as a laboratory reagent and diluent for qualified researchers, and is distinguished from ordinary sterile water for injection by its multi-use, bacteriostatic formulation. This kit is offered in two presentations to match different laboratory workflow volumes.

Mechanism & Research Context

In laboratory workflows BAC Water serves as the standard diluent for preparing peptide stock solutions. The bacteriostatic benzyl alcohol suppresses bacterial proliferation in the reconstituted vial, supporting repeated aseptic draws over the reagent's usable window. Researchers add the water slowly against the vial wall, allow the lyophilized powder to dissolve without agitation, and store the resulting solution under refrigeration for downstream in-vitro use.

Research Applications

• Reconstitution of lyophilized research peptides for in-vitro study
• Preparation of peptide stock solutions at defined concentrations
• General laboratory dilution and aseptic sample handling
• Multi-draw reagent workflows requiring bacteriostatic protection

Storage & Handling

• Store sealed vials in a cool, dark place for short-term storage and frozen for long-term storage.
• After reconstitution, refrigerate and protect from light and heat.
• Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles; handle using standard laboratory safety and aseptic technique.
