Sterile 0.9% benzyl alcohol water for reconstituting lyophilized peptides.
Bacteriostatic water (BAC water) is sterile water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which inhibits bacterial growth and allows a reconstituted vial to be used safely over multiple draws. It is the standard diluent for reconstituting lyophilized research peptides.
Use a sterile syringe to withdraw the desired volume of BAC water and slowly inject down the inside wall of the peptide vial. Gently swirl — do not shake — until fully dissolved. Store reconstituted vials refrigerated.
Volume depends on the peptide and desired concentration. Common reconstitutions use 1–3 mL of BAC water per vial. Refer to each peptide's reconstitution guide.
Available in 3 mL and 10 mL vials. Withdraw with a sterile syringe; do not contaminate the stopper. Refrigerate after opening and discard after ~28 days or per your protocol.
Always use bacteriostatic water (BAC), sterile technique and store reconstituted vials refrigerated unless otherwise noted.
