Overview
Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) 30ml from Advanced Peptide Science is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative, supplied for the reconstitution of lyophilized research peptide compounds. The 30ml multi-dose vial format supports extended research protocols across multiple reconstitution events.
Research Background
Bacteriostatic water is the standard reconstitution solvent for lyophilized peptide research compounds. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol concentration is the conventional research-grade formulation, providing bacteriostatic preservation that extends usable storage life relative to plain sterile water for injection — useful for research protocols requiring multiple reconstitution events per vial.
Mechanism of Action (Research Context)
Bacteriostatic water functions as a reconstitution solvent by providing a sterile aqueous medium for re-suspending lyophilized peptide powders into the liquid phase required for in vitro and in vivo research administration. The benzyl alcohol component inhibits microbial growth in opened multi-dose vials, supporting extended research-protocol use.
Research Applications
- Reconstitution of lyophilized research peptide compounds across all categories
- Multi-dose research-protocol vial format for extended studies
- Required for injectable formulations including Metabolic, Tissue Repair, Growth Hormone, Longevity, and Skin & Aesthetics categories
- Standard 0.9% benzyl alcohol research-grade formulation
