BAC WATER

Overview

BAC Water enables safe and sterile reconstitution of lyophilized materials under laboratory conditions. The benzyl alcohol content inhibits microbial growth, making it suitable for multiple withdrawals from the same container when handled aseptically.

Product Research

• Laboratory Reconstitution of Compounds

  BAC Water is widely used in laboratory studies to reconstitute lyophilized peptides and other agents for further in-vitro analysis. Its multi-dose capability supports research protocols that require multiple extractions from a single vial [1].

• Bacteriostatic Properties

  The 0.9% benzyl alcohol in BAC Water acts as a preservative that inhibits microbial growth. This allows BAC Water to be stored and reused within established lab handling standards, making it distinct from preservative-free sterile water [2].

• Comparison to Sterile Water

  BAC Water is different from Sterile Water for Injection in that it includes a preservative and is suitable for multi-use research applications. Sterile Water lacks preservatives and is generally single-use [3].

• Limitations in Certain Research Models

  Due to the inclusion of benzyl alcohol, BAC Water is not used in neonatal research models and may be excluded from certain experimental conditions depending on compound compatibility or cell line sensitivity [4].

• Compatibility Considerations

  Some compounds may degrade or become unstable in the presence of benzyl alcohol. Researchers are advised to verify compound compatibility with BAC Water prior to use in their protocol [5].
