Bacteriostatic Water
Bacteriostatic Water (commonly referred to as BAC Water) is a sterile, nonpyrogenic aqueous solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. Its composition inhibits bacterial proliferation, allowing for multiple aseptic withdrawals from the same container for up to 28 days after initial puncture. In laboratory environments, BAC Water is the preferred solvent for reconstituting lyophilized peptides, SARMs, nootropics, and other biologically active compounds.

Research-Use Notice
This compound is provided strictly for laboratory and educational research purposes only.

General Overview
Bacteriostatic Water (commonly referred to as BAC Water) is a sterile, nonpyrogenic aqueous solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. Its composition inhibits bacterial proliferation, allowing for multiple aseptic withdrawals from the same container for up to 28 days after initial puncture.
In laboratory environments, BAC Water is the preferred solvent for reconstituting lyophilized peptides, SARMs, nootropics, and other biologically active compounds. It supports sterility, reproducibility, and molecular stability during experimental workflows. Unlike Sterile Water for Injection (SWFI)—which lacks preservatives and is intended for single use—BAC Water remains viable across multiple research applications under aseptic conditions.
