SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION

BAC Water 10 ML – Lab Research Supply is Bacteriostatic Water (0.9% benzyl alcohol in sterile water for injection), commonly abbreviated as BAC Water. Classified as a sterile, laboratory-grade diluent and reconstitution vehicle for peptide research and other biomolecular studies, it supports rigorous scientific research workflows. Its preservation system enables controlled multi-entry use under aseptic technique, making it valuable for in-vitro studies and formulation research.

SECTION 2: RESEARCH APPLICATIONS

• Investigated in studies examining peptide reconstitution parameters, including pH effects, solubility, and stability profiling in vitro.
• Research has explored its role in maintaining vial integrity during aseptic, multi-use laboratory workflows via the antimicrobial action of benzyl alcohol.
• In-vitro studies have demonstrated compatibility with selected synthetic peptides, proteins, and small-molecule research chemicals across typical laboratory concentrations.
• Animal model research suggests vehicle composition (e.g., benzyl alcohol content) can influence physicochemical properties of experimental formulations, informing preformulation assessments.
• Laboratory investigations focus on solvent effects on peptide aggregation, adsorption to labware, and recovery during analytical assays (HPLC/LC-MS).
• Peptide research commonly utilizes BAC Water for research when evaluating formulation stability, filter-binding, and container-closure interactions.
