Bac Water 30mL

Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, commonly known as Bac Water, is a crucial diluent in various research settings. This sterile solution contains 0.9% (9 mg/mL) benzyl alcohol, which acts as a bacteriostatic agent, inhibiting the growth of most common contaminating bacteria. This preservative allows for multiple withdrawals from the same vial over an extended period, significantly reducing the risk of microbial contamination when reconstituting or diluting sensitive research compounds, peptides, or proteins for laboratory studies. It is meticulously prepared to meet stringent quality standards, ensuring purity and reliability for demanding scientific applications. In research, Bac Water is primarily utilized for the reconstitution of lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides, proteins, and other powdered compounds, preparing them into stable, injectable solutions for in vitro and in vivo studies. Its bacteriostatic properties are particularly beneficial when working with compounds that require precise dosing and prolonged stability after reconstitution. Researchers rely on Bac Water to maintain the integrity and sterility of their prepared solutions, which is paramount for obtaining accurate and reproducible experimental results across disciplines such as pharmacology, biochemistry, and molecular biology. For optimal handling, Bac Water should be stored at controlled room temperature (20°C to 25°C) or refrigerated (2°C to 8°C) once opened, depending on the specific requirements of the reconstituted compound. Always use aseptic techniques when withdrawing solution to prevent contamination. The benzyl alcohol preservative typically maintains sterility for up to 28 days after initial puncture, though specific research protocols may dictate shorter discard times. Dispose of any unused portion after the recommended period or if signs of contamination are observed. Ensure the vial is tightly sealed when not in use.
