OVERVIEW
Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) is a sterile aqueous solution containing a low concentration of benzyl alcohol, supplied for laboratory and research use as a diluent for peptide reconstitution and solution preparation.
What Is It?
Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile diluent commonly used for the reconstitution of research materials, including peptides. It is often referred to as BAC water.
This solution is non-pyrogenic, deionized water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol (9 mg/mL), which serves as a bacteriostatic preservative to inhibit microbial growth.
Once opened, bacteriostatic water may be used multiple times for up to 28 days when handled and stored under proper sterile conditions.
