BAC Water

Price range: $2.00 through $3.00 / 10 Vials

Bacteriostatic Water for Injection is a sterile, non-pyrogenic preparation containing 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is the gold standard solvent for the reconstitution of lyophilized peptides and proteins in laboratory research. Unlike plain sterile water, the addition of Benzyl Alcohol allows the solution to remain stable and free from bacterial contamination for multiple punctures, making it essential for multi-dose protocols.

Mechanism of Action

Bacteriostatic Properties: The 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol concentration acts by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane and inhibiting the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids in microorganisms (α).

Extended Stability: It prevents the proliferation of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, extending the shelf-life of reconstituted peptides to approximately 28 days when stored at 2-8°C.

Solubility Optimization: Provides a stable environment for most peptides (such as BPC-157 or HGH), ensuring the delicate α-helical and β-sheet structures of the proteins remain intact during storage.

Non-Pyrogenic Safety: Processed to be free of endotoxins and pyrogens, ensuring that the solvent does not interfere with the biological assays or research outcomes.

Storage & handling

Storage:Store the lyophilized vial in a cool, dry area protected from direct sunlight.
