Bacteriostatic Water 10ml

BAC water is short for bacteriostatic water and is used to reconstitute peptides. The reason why Bacteriostatic water is used and not normal tap water is as BAC water is sterile, it has 0.9% Benzyl alcohol added in order to preserve it's sterile nature. Tap water, apart from not being sterile also contains endotoxins (fragments of dead bacteria) that can trigger fever or inflammation.

Yes, by PubMed.These papers were written on neonotal toxicity, local anaesthetic effect, multi dose vial contamination and include on-going research directly comparing unsterilised water to bacteriostatic water.

Research has shown that withinBacteriostatic water there is Benzyl alcohol at 0.9%, reliably slows bacterial growth, which is why preserved multi-dose vials are less risky than reusing preservative-free ones, although contamination still happens when handling is poor, so technique matters.

Yes, BAC water can be bought online in Australia from peptide suppliers such as Peptide House.

Yes, it is commonly referred to as BAC water but can also be known as sterile water or peptide water in the research community.

Generally not over the counter, no. Luckily, Peptide House does stock BAC water for purchase and is available with fast domestic shipping to all states and territories.

Yes, In general we do highly recommend Bacteriostatic water for reconstituting peptides bought from Peptide House or any research peptide supplier. To compare, tap water last 24 hours when used in reconstituting peptides and BAC water can last up to 28 days. Our reconstitution calculator should always be used to figure out research dosage.

If you want to purchase BAC water in Australia for research, one suitable option is purchasing from an online retailer such as Peptide House. We provide fast domestic shipping to all states and territories with the highest quality products.

Unopened vials of BAC water should be stored at room temperature ideally 20–25°C away from direct sunlight. Although, after the first puncture keep this product at 2–8°C.
