Bacteriostatic water (BAC water) 0.9%

Description

Solvent for peptide research and laboratory applications

Product overview

Bacteriostatic water (BAC water) is sterile water for injection that contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which acts as a preservative. This allows the solution to inhibit bacterial growth and extend usability after multiple withdrawals. It is widely used in research laboratories for reconstituting lyophilized peptides and other compounds that require sterile handling.

Key benefits (anecdotal & research-based)

Extends the shelf-life of reconstituted peptides compared to sterile water alone.
Allows for multiple withdrawals from the same vial under sterile conditions.
Reduces the risk of bacterial contamination in repeated laboratory use.
Commonly preferred solvent in peptide and protein research.
