Buy Bacteriostatic Water – Sterile Diluent for Peptide Reconstitution

Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) – 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol, Sterile Multi-Dose Vial

Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP is a sterile, nonpyrogenic preparation of water containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative . It is specifically designed as a multiple-dose diluent for dissolving or diluting drugs and research peptides prior to injection . Unlike sterile water, the benzyl alcohol preservative allows for repeated withdrawals from the same vial without compromising sterility, making it the preferred choice for peptide research applications. This research-grade solvent is strictly for laboratory use and is not intended for human consumption.

Key Factual Details

Mechanism of Action & Research Applications

Bacteriostatic Preservation: The 0.9% benzyl alcohol content inhibits bacterial growth in the vial, allowing multiple withdrawals over time without microbial contamination . This is essential when reconstituting peptides that require repeated dosing from the same vial .

Research Applications:

• Peptide Reconstitution: Dissolving lyophilized peptides into solution for research protocols 

• Drug Dilution: Preparing pharmaceutical compounds for injectable research use

• Laboratory Use: Routine solvent in peptide and biopharmaceutical research

Research Parameters

Reconstitution Protocol:

• Use aseptic technique for all withdrawals 

• Inject BAC water slowly against the vial wall to avoid damaging peptides 

• Gently swirl to dissolve; do not shake vigorously 

• Allow 15 minutes after reconstitution for full dissolution 

Storage:

• Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight 

• Refrigerate after opening, as with reconstituted peptides 

• Discard any solution showing particulate matter or discoloration
