Description
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water for injection containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, which inhibits bacterial growth and permits multiple-draw use from a single vial without contamination risk. It is the standard reconstitution vehicle for lyophilised research peptides, including MOTS-c, SS-31, BPC-157, and GHK-Cu, as its bacteriostatic properties extend peptide solution stability significantly compared to plain sterile water. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol concentration is well-characterised in the literature and does not interfere with most peptide stability or bioassay endpoints when used at standard reconstitution volumes. Each 10mL vial is pharmaceutical-grade and supplied under sterile manufacturing conditions. Intended for use in reconstituting lyophilised research compounds in laboratory settings. Not for injection into humans or animals. For research laboratory use only.
What Is Bacteriostatic Water?
Bacteriostatic water (BAC water) is sterile water for injection containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. The benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth, allowing the solution to be used for multiple punctures of a vial over an extended period, typically up to 28–30 days after first use.
Bacteriostatic water is the standard reconstitution medium for research peptides because it maintains solution sterility across multiple uses, whereas plain sterile water for injection permits only single use. Using bacteriostatic water is essential for maintaining research integrity when aliquoting reconstituted peptides across multiple study timepoints.
Why Bacteriostatic Water for Peptide Research
Lyophilised peptides must be reconstituted in an appropriate aqueous solution before use. Bacteriostatic water is preferred over saline or plain sterile water for peptide reconstitution because: (1) the benzyl alcohol preservative prevents microbial contamination across multiple draws; (2) the slightly acidic pH (4.5–7.0) is compatible with most peptide structures; (3) it is available in standard 10ml multi-dose vials that integrate directly with standard insulin syringes.
For temperature-sensitive research peptides such as Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Retatrutide, BPC-157, and TB-500, the reconstituted solution in bacteriostatic water should be refrigerated at 2–8°C and used within 28 days of reconstitution. Bacteriostatic water should not be used for intrathecal or epidural applications.
Reconstitution Protocol
Add bacteriostatic water slowly down the interior wall of the peptide vial, do not squirt directly onto the lyophilised powder as this can denature the peptide. Gently swirl the vial until the powder is fully dissolved. Do not shake or vortex. The desired concentration depends on the peptide and study protocol; common concentrations for GLP-1 peptides are 5–10mg/ml.
