0.9% Benzyl Alcohol Solution (BAC Water)

Product Overview

0.9% Benzyl Alcohol Solution, commonly known as Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water), is a sterile, preservative-containing diluent intended exclusively for laboratory research applications. It is widely used for the reconstitution of lyophilized peptides, enabling precise dosing and extended stability for in vitro use. This solution is not for human or veterinary administration.

• Intended Use: Diluent for laboratory research peptides, proteins, and other lyophilized reagents

Proper Reconstitution of Peptides

• Always use aseptic technique and appropriate lab safety equipment when reconstituting peptides.

• Allow the vial of the lyophilized peptide to reach room temperature prior to reconstitution.

• Draw up the desired volume of 0.9% BAC Water into a sterile syringe.

• Slowly add the BAC Water to the peptide vial, letting the liquid run down the side of the vial to avoid foaming and to ensure optimal dissolution.

• Swirl gently until the peptide is fully dissolved; avoid vigorous shaking.

• Store reconstituted solutions as recommended by your laboratory protocol (commonly refrigerated, 2–8°C).

• Record the date of reconstitution and use only within the recommended timeframe for stability.
