1 × Bacteriostatic Water (10ML vial • 0.9% benzyl alcohol). Sealed for stability. Store away from heat and light.
Bacteriostatic Water (BAC) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution of water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. It is widely used in research for the reconstitution of peptides, hormones, and other lyophilized compounds. Unlike sterile water, Bacteriostatic Water contains a bacteriostatic agent, allowing for multiple withdrawals from the same vial without compromising sterility.

Bacteriostatic water is sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol (9mg/mL) as a bacteriostatic preservative. Unlike sterile water, this preparation allows repeated withdrawals from a single vial, with the preservative may be used for up to 28 days after first puncture if stored properly and per institutional guidelines. Sterile water vials are single-dose only.
Bacteriostatic water is used in research for peptide reconstitution, hormone dilution, and multi-dose compound preparation. It maintains a pH of 5.7 (4.5 to 7.0), ensuring compatibility with research-grade peptides. This product is for Research Use Only (RUO).
Bacteriostatic water serves as the preferred solvent for reconstituting lyophilized peptides in research environments. The benzyl alcohol preservative maintains solution sterility during repeated access, while the slightly acidic pH (typically around 5.7; range 4.5–7.0) supports peptide stability throughout the reconstitution period.
Research facilities utilize bacteriostatic water for preparing multi-dose solutions of various experimental compounds. The bacteriostatic properties enable researchers to maintain a single vial for multiple procedures, reducing waste and improving cost-efficiency in laboratory operations.
Scientific investigations examining hormones, growth factors, and signaling molecules frequently employ bacteriostatic water as the reconstitution medium. The sterile formulation ensures compound stability across multiple experimental timepoints and assays.
Laboratory protocols requiring precise dosing benefit from bacteriostatic water's multi-use capability. Researchers can prepare stock solutions and withdraw exact volumes for experimental replicates while maintaining solution sterility between procedures.
Bacteriostatic water contributes to standardized protocols across research institutions. The consistent composition and sterility enable reproducible experimental conditions, facilitating data comparison and validation across different research groups.
Bacteriostatic water demonstrates an excellent safety profile when utilized according to proper laboratory protocols. The benzyl alcohol preservative effectively prevents bacterial contamination while maintaining compatibility with most research compounds and peptides.
However, benzyl alcohol carries specific contraindications. Neonatal research models must avoid bacteriostatic water entirely, as benzyl alcohol has been associated with serious adverse effects in neonates, including metabolic acidosis. The FDA specifically warns against benzyl alcohol use in neonatal populations.
WARNING: Not for use in neonates. Products containing benzyl alcohol have been associated with serious adverse events (“gasping syndrome”) in premature and low-birth-weight infants.
Elev8 Labs bacteriostatic water is manufactured exclusively for laboratory research purposes. This product has not been approved by the FDA for human consumption, therapeutic use, veterinary applications, or clinical administration. Researchers must ensure compliance with institutional protocols and regulations governing research material handling.
Proper storage procedures are essential for maintaining bacteriostatic water sterility. Vials should be stored at room temperature (20-25°C), protected from light, and never frozen. Following initial puncture, bacteriostatic properties remain effective for up to 28 days.
Researchers must employ aseptic technique during all vial access procedures, utilizing sterile needles and syringes to prevent contamination. Visual inspection should precede each use. Any cloudiness or particulate matter indicates contamination and necessitates immediate vial disposal.
Each 10mL Bacteriostatic Water vial contains sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol preservative. Researchers can utilize the full bacteriostatic water vial volume for reconstituting lyophilized peptides, adjusting dilution ratios based on specific experimental protocols and desired peptide concentrations for laboratory assays and research applications.
For precise bacteriostatic water reconstitution calculations, the Elev8 Labs Peptide Calculator converts peptide vial content and bacteriostatic water volume into accurate concentration measurements.
