Bacteriostatic Water: Sterile Diluent Solution for Laboratory Use

Global Peptides supplies Bacteriostatic Water to laboratories across Australia, providing a sterile diluent solution used to reconstitute lyophilised research compounds prior to laboratory and analytical work.

Bacteriostatic Water is not a peptide but a sterile aqueous solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative agent. This composition inhibits microbial growth and distinguishes this product from plain sterile water, which lacks a preservative and is intended for single use only.

Each batch is produced under controlled manufacturing conditions and undergoes independent laboratory verification, supporting consistent quality across analytical use. A Certificate of Analysis is available on request for every order.

What is BAC Water Used For?

Many researchers ask what BAC water is used for in laboratory settings. Bacteriostatic Water is primarily used as a diluent to reconstitute lyophilised powders, including research peptides, prior to further laboratory handling or analytical work. Its benzyl alcohol content allows it to remain suitable across multiple reconstitution events within a defined period, provided it is stored correctly.

Sterile Bacteriostatic Water: Composition and Properties

This formulation is manufactured under controlled conditions and verified through independent laboratory testing prior to release. It combines purified water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, and it is sometimes referred to in research literature simply as BAC water or by its component name, Benzyl Alcohol Solution.

This product is occasionally searched under the misspelling bacterialistic water, though the correct term used throughout scientific and pharmacopoeial literature is bacteriostatic water.

How Long Does BAC Water Last?

Researchers often ask how long BAC water lasts once opened. General supplier and pharmacopoeial literature typically references a limited stability window after first use when the solution is stored under refrigeration, though Global Peptides recommends following your own laboratory's protocols and documentation practices rather than relying on general guidance for this determination.
