BAC Water
Price range: € 3,95 through € 27,95
Don't forget the reconstitution water
Required for dissolving freeze-dried peptides.
All products are intended for laboratory research only and are not suitable for human or animal consumption. By purchasing, the buyer agrees to use these products in accordance with all applicable laws.
This substance has not been evaluated or approved by the European (EMA), American (FDA) or Dutch (MEB/IGJ) medicines authorities for any human or veterinary use. No medical, therapeutic, diagnostic or preventive use is claimed or implied.
Bacteriostatic water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic aqueous solution that contains a small amount of benzyl alcohol (usually 0.9%). This substance acts as a preservative and inhibits the growth of bacteria. It is widely used in laboratories and research environments for dissolving and diluting peptides and other compounds.
In biochemical and molecular research, BAC water is often used as a solvent for controlled preparation, processing and storage of research substances. Due to its bacteriostatic properties, multiple use under sterile conditions is possible.
Composition and properties
Main ingredients:
- Sterile water
- 0.9% benzyl alcohol (preservative)
Important features:
- Sterile and non-pyrogenic solution
- Bacteriostatic action against microbial growth
- Suitable for multiple laboratory use
- High compatibility with peptide reconstitution protocols
Applications in Research
Bacteriostatic water is mainly used in laboratories for:
- Reconstitution of freeze-dried peptides and compounds
- Dilution of Research Substances for Controlled Experiments
- Solution preparation in molecular and biochemical research
- Support for storage of reconstituted substances under the right conditions
Its preservative effect makes it particularly suitable for repeated use where sterility and stability are important.
Handling and Storage
In laboratory environments, BAC water is treated under strictly sterile conditions to maintain its quality.
General guidelines include:
- Storage at controlled room temperature
- Protection against contamination during use
- Use of sterile equipment in transfer
- Correct labeling and registration within research protocols
Scientific Relevance of BAC Water
Bacteriostatic water is considered an essential laboratory staple in peptide and molecular research due to its role in preparing solutions and ensuring stability.
It supports controlled reconstitution processes and contributes to consistent and reproducible experimental results.
Within research environments, it is an important tool for precise dust handling and reliable laboratory practices.
