BAC (Bacteriostatic Water)

[Product type]
Reagents

Bacteriostatic water is sterile water for injection containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative, allowing multiple withdrawals from the same vial without repackaging. It's used in research settings as a reconstitution diluent for lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides prior to laboratory use.

Unlike the compounds above, BAC water isn't itself a research subject — it's a supporting reagent, and researchers should confirm compatibility with the specific peptide being reconstituted before use.

This product is intended strictly for laboratory research use. It is not a drug, dietary supplement, or food product, and is not evaluated or approved by the FDA for any use in humans or animals. It is not for human consumption.

Every lot is tested by an independent, accredited lab before it's listed for identity and sterility, with lot-level records available on our verification page.
