Overview
Bacteriostatic water is water for injection preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, commonly used in laboratory settings as a diluent for reconstituting lyophilised peptides. MelanoMax supplies it sterile-filtered and packaged in a 10ml vial, matched to the labelling and handling standards used across the rest of the range.
Storage & Handling
Store at room temperature, away from direct light and heat. Once opened, follow your laboratory's standard protocol for multi-use vial handling.
Research Information
The benzyl alcohol preservative inhibits bacterial growth once a vial has been opened, which is why bacteriostatic water is preferred over plain sterile water for multi-use reconstitution in laboratory protocols. It is chemically inert with respect to most lyophilised peptide compounds when used at standard laboratory dilution ratios.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use BAC water with any peptide vial?
BAC water is a general-purpose diluent suitable for reconstituting most lyophilised peptides in a laboratory context. Always follow the reconstitution approach appropriate to your specific research protocol.
Is it sterile?
Yes — it is sterile-filtered and supplied in a sealed vial with a self-sealing stopper.
Is BAC water for human use?
No. It is supplied strictly for in vitro laboratory research use only.
