Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) – 10mL
Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) – 10mL
Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) is sterile, non-pyrogenic water containing 0.9 % benzyl alcohol (as a bacteriostatic preservative). It is intended for research and laboratory use only, commonly utilized for the reconstitution of lyophilized peptides and other non-clinical compounds under controlled conditions.
BAC Water provides a clean, stable solvent environment that helps maintain peptide integrity after reconstitution. The addition of benzyl alcohol acts to inhibit bacterial growth, allowing repeated-access laboratory workflows from a single vial when handled in accordance with laboratory best practices.

Bacteriostatic Water for Peptides
Bacteriostatic water is the standard solvent for reconstituting lyophilized research peptides in the laboratory. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol acts as a bacteriostatic preservative, which is what lets a single sealed vial be accessed repeatedly across a research workflow while supporting consistent solvent conditions. For protocols calling for a single use or a preservative-free solvent, sterile water is the alternative; for repeated-access laboratory work, bacteriostatic water is the common choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is bacteriostatic water used for in peptide research?
A solvent used to reconstitute lyophilized research peptides into solution under controlled laboratory conditions. Supplied strictly for research use only.
How is bacteriostatic water different from sterile water?
Both are sterile. Bacteriostatic water adds 0.9% benzyl alcohol, a preservative that inhibits bacterial growth and supports repeated-access use from a single vial. Sterile water contains no preservative.
How should bacteriostatic water be stored?
Keep the sealed vial at controlled room temperature (20 to 25 °C), away from direct light, and follow your laboratory’s handling practices.
