Frequently asked questions
- Bacteriostatic water (BAC water) is sterile water for injection containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is commonly used to reconstitute lyophilised peptides in laboratory research, providing a stable diluent that supports multiple withdrawals from a single vial.
- The benzyl alcohol preservative inhibits bacterial growth, allowing the same vial to be used over several days or weeks without contamination. Plain sterile water lacks preservatives and is intended for single-use only after opening.
- Store sealed at room temperature (15-25 ยฐC). Once opened, follow the manufacturer's recommended in-use period (typically 28 days). Discard any solution showing precipitation, discoloration, or visible particulates.
- Most lyophilised research peptides reconstitute well in bacteriostatic water. Some peptides with specific solubility profiles (highly hydrophobic sequences, copper complexes) may require alternative solvents โ consult the peptide's COA and manufacturer guidance.
- Sterile bacteriostatic water sold by Peptra Labs is supplied strictly for laboratory research use โ for example, reconstitution of research peptides for in-vitro experiments and animal studies. It is not intended as a human pharmaceutical diluent in clinical contexts.
