Description
Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) – 30ML Overview
Bacteriostatic Water 30ML (BAC Water 30ML) The bacteriostatic water, often called the BAC water, is a sterile diluent of laboratory grade 30ml designed for use in the laboratories and research. 30ml of water will be 0.9% alcohol benzyl in composition as preservative that prevents bacterial contamination in use and as such suitable for single person or single use.
This reconstitution buffer is ideal for use in peptide applications, offering a stable solvent for dissolving and diluting substances. This composition leads to an increase in reproducibility in terms of the quality of your preparation of experimental substances.
Key Features and Benefits
- Sterile Composition: Manufactured under strict conditions to ensure purity and safety in laboratory applications.
- Contains 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol: Helps prevent microbial contamination, supporting multi-use functionality.
- High Precision: Ideal for accurate dilution and reconstitution of peptides and research compounds.
- Reliable Performance: Ensures consistent experimental results through stable formulation.
Product Specifications

Applications in Scientific Research
Laboratory scientists and technicians commonly use bacteriostatic water for reconstituting lyophilized peptides and preparing solutions of specific molarity. The fact that it’s antimicrobial is useful because multiple withdrawals will be made from a stock solution, and it needs to remain sterile.
When working with peptide solutions, stable conditions need to be maintained to ensure the molecular stability of your products and the accuracy of your experiments. Use BAC Water.
How It Works
When you add benzyl alcohol to the bacteriostatic water it’s added as a bacteriostatic agent that prevents the growth of bacteria in solution, helping keep your solution sterile for multiple uses. This is ideal when in the lab.
The official pharmaceutical guide to such sterile products explains the common use of bacterostatic agents likebenzyl alcohol as one of the methods of prolonging the safe and acceptable life of the sterile product.
Best Practices for Laboratory Use
- Use aseptic techniques when handling the solution
- Store in appropriate environmental conditions
- Avoid contamination by using sterile equipment
- Dispose of according to laboratory safety protocols
Storage Guidelines
Storage store bacteriostatic water at room temp, as you would typically follow lab protocols. Tightly sealed container. Avoid direct light & contamination source. Don’t freeze.
