BAC Water (Agua Bacteriostática)
The sterile diluent for reconstituting peptides.
A sterile solution of water for injection with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, widely used in the lab to reconstitute lyophilized peptides.
What is it?
A sterile diluent designed to mix or reconstitute powdered compounds before using them in research. It reconstitutes lyophilized peptides while helping reduce bacterial growth thanks to its preservative.
How does it work?
When added to a lyophilized compound, it helps it dissolve. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol helps inhibit bacterial growth, allowing multiple withdrawals when handled under sterile conditions.

Observed results
Results may vary from person to person and depend on the context of the study.
- Makes reconstituting lyophilized peptides easier
- A preservative that helps reduce bacterial growth
- Allows multiple withdrawals while maintaining sterility
- One of the most widely used diluents in biomedical research
What it does NOT do
- Does not increase a peptide's effectiveness
- Does not alter the action of the reconstituted compound
- Does not replace proper sterile handling technique
- Does not eliminate the risk of contamination if used incorrectly

Quick summary
"Bacteriostatic" means it helps inhibit the growth of bacteria but does not kill them: that is why it is essential to always maintain aseptic technique during reconstitution and storage.
