BAC WATER 3 ML

$9.00

BAC Water 3 ML is bacteriostatic water, a sterile-water diluent containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic agent. The benzyl alcohol limits the growth of bacteria within the vial, allowing the diluent to be drawn from across multiple withdrawals during laboratory work. It is supplied as a general-purpose reconstitution fluid for preparing lyophilized research compounds for in-vitro study. In the laboratory, bacteriostatic water is the standard diluent researchers use to reconstitute lyophilized peptides and other powdered reference compounds into solution for bench assays. The bacteriostatic property makes it convenient for multi-aliquot preparation workflows where a vial is accessed repeatedly over a working period. Researchers select it for its compatibility with peptide handling, solution-stability testing, and reproducible sample preparation. It is a reagent diluent, not an active research compound. Peptiva Research Labs supplies it as a research-grade reconstitution diluent for laboratory use. For Research Use Only, not for human or veterinary use.

Frequently asked questions

What is bacteriostatic water?
It is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which acts as a bacteriostatic agent to limit bacterial growth in the vial. This allows repeated withdrawals during laboratory work. It is a reconstitution diluent, not an active research compound.
What do labs use BAC water for?
Researchers use it to reconstitute lyophilized peptides and other powdered reference compounds into solution for in-vitro assays. The bacteriostatic property suits multi-aliquot workflows where a vial is accessed repeatedly. It supports reproducible sample preparation in the laboratory.
How should BAC water be stored?
Keep the vial sealed and stored at controlled room temperature or refrigerated, away from direct light. Once accessed, follow standard laboratory practice for diluent handling and note the working period. It is intended solely for research-use reconstitution.
