BAC Water
Product Overview
Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic water solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. This pharmaceutical-grade solvent is specifically designed for the reconstitution of lyophilised peptides and proteins in research applications.
Composition Specifications
- Active Ingredient: Sterile Water for Injection, USP
- Preservative: 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol
- Volume: 3ml per vial
- pH Range: 4.5 - 7.0
- Osmolality: <50 mOsmol/kg
- Appearance: Clear, colourless solution
Quality Standards
This bacteriostatic water meets USP (United States Pharmacopeia) standards for sterile water for injection and complies with pharmaceutical manufacturing requirements for research-grade solvents.
Research Applications
BAC Water is utilised in laboratory settings for:
- Reconstitution of lyophilised peptides and proteins
- Preparation of research compound solutions
- Dilution of concentrated research materials
- Maintenance of sterile conditions in peptide research
- Long-term storage of reconstituted research compounds
- Multiple-use applications due to bacteriostatic properties
Storage & Handling
- Storage Temperature: Room temperature (15-30°C)
- Stability: 28 days after first use when stored properly
- Sterility: Maintains sterile conditions with proper handling
- Multiple Use: Benzyl alcohol preservative allows multiple withdrawals
Usage Guidelines
For reconstitution of research peptides, use appropriate volumes based on desired concentration. The bacteriostatic properties allow for multiple uses from a single vial when proper sterile technique is maintained. Always use sterile syringes and needles for withdrawal.
Quality Assurance
Each batch undergoes comprehensive testing including sterility testing, endotoxin analysis, pH verification, and benzyl alcohol content analysis. Certificate of Analysis available upon request.
