BAC Water
Bacteriostatic Water – Reconstitution Solution (0.9% Benzyl Alcohol)
Format: Sterile aqueous solution
Volume: 10 mL
Composition: Sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as preservative
Product Overview
Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile aqueous solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, commonly used in laboratory environments as a diluent or reconstitution medium for lyophilized compounds.
The presence of benzyl alcohol functions as a bacteriostatic preservative, helping inhibit the growth of certain microorganisms after the vial has been opened. Because of this preservative property, bacteriostatic water may be used in laboratory protocols where multiple withdrawals from the same vial are required under controlled conditions.
This solution is widely used in research and analytical settings for preparing solutions from lyophilized materials such as peptides, proteins, or other laboratory compounds.
Research Applications
Bacteriostatic Water is commonly used in laboratory settings for:
- reconstitution of lyophilized compounds
- dilution of laboratory reagents
- preparation of experimental solutions
- peptide and protein research protocols
- analytical and biochemical laboratory procedures
Researchers should follow appropriate sterile handling techniques and laboratory protocols when working with this solution.
Handling and Storage (Laboratory Guidance)
Typical laboratory handling recommendations include:
- Store at controlled room temperature or refrigerated conditions (2–25 °C) depending on laboratory protocol.
- Protect the vial from contamination after opening.
- Always use sterile laboratory equipment when withdrawing solution.
- Avoid exposing the product to excessive heat or direct light.
Laboratory procedures may vary depending on the specific research application.
