About BAC Water 10mg

Bacteriostatic water is sterile water for injection that contains 15mg benzyl alcohol per 10ml as a bacteriostatic preservative. Manufactured to USP (United States Pharmacopeia) grade standards, it serves as the standard diluent for reconstituting lyophilised peptides and other research compounds that require solubilisation before use. The inclusion of benzyl alcohol distinguishes bacteriostatic water from plain sterile water by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, making it suitable for multi-use protocols where a single vial of reconstituted compound may be accessed repeatedly over a period of days or weeks.

For peptide research, bacteriostatic water is an essential laboratory supply rather than an optional one. Lyophilised peptides are inherently stable in their dry state, but once reconstituted they become susceptible to microbial contamination and degradation. The preservative action of bacteriostatic water provides a critical layer of protection during the working life of a reconstituted solution, supporting the integrity of research compounds and the reliability of experimental results across multi-dose protocols.
