BAC Water Overview
BAC Water 3mL is sterile bacteriostatic water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, designed for laboratory research applications. The inclusion of benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth, allowing for multiple withdrawals under proper sterile technique.
This preparation is commonly utilized in research environments for peptide reconstitution and dilution procedures requiring sterile aqueous solutions.

What Is Bacteriostatic Water?
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water for research purposes that contains a preservative agent, typically benzyl alcohol at 0.9%, to prevent microbial proliferation after vial entry. Unlike sterile water without preservative, bacteriostatic formulations are suitable for multi-dose research protocols when aseptic technique is maintained.
Research Applications
BAC Water 3mL is frequently used in laboratory settings for:
• Peptide reconstitution
• Dilution of lyophilized research compounds
• Controlled volumetric preparation
• Multi-use vial protocols
Proper sterile handling procedures should always be followed.
Storage
Store at controlled room temperature.
Avoid contamination after first puncture.
Discard if solution becomes cloudy or particulate matter is observed.
For research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Factor Peptides Storage Guidelines:
These peptides arrive in a dried, stabilized form produced by a process called lyophilization, or freeze drying. In this state, they are generally suitable for transport and short-term storage at typical room temperatures for several months.
Once the dry powder is mixed with bacteriostatic water and turned into a liquid solution, the storage requirements change. The reconstituted solution should be kept in a refrigerator to help maintain its properties, and is usually considered suitable for use for about 30 days under chilled conditions.
Lyophilization involves freezing the material and then exposing it to low pressure so that ice in the sample passes directly from solid to vapor, rather than melting. This leaves behind a light, porous, white solid that is more stable than the original liquid. In this form, the product can often be kept at room temperature until it is time to add diluent.
After delivery, it is good practice to protect the vials from heat and strong light. If the product will be used in the near future, storing the lyophilized powder or reconstituted solution in a refrigerator at temperatures below about 4°C (39°F) is typically appropriate. The dry form often remains intact at room temperature for a number of weeks, so this may also be acceptable when immediate refrigeration is not available and the intended use is relatively soon.
For storage over longer periods, such as many months or years, much colder conditions are preferred. Placing the vials in a deep freezer, around -80°C (-112°F), is commonly used to help preserve the structure and activity of peptides for extended time frames.
