Research accessory
Bac water is bacteriostatic water: sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol added as a preservative. It has no salt and no buffer. We sell it in 3ML, 10ML and 30ML vials for lab research.
Labs use it as a reconstitution solution. That is the liquid that dissolves a freeze-dried (lyophilized) peptide before an experiment. The benzyl alcohol holds back the growth of microbes that get in after the vial is opened. That is why it suits a vial that is entered more than once.
Sterile water has no preservative. Saline is 0.9% sodium chloride. These three liquids are not interchangeable. Our comparison with sterile water sets out the differences.
How benzyl alcohol acts depends on the compound. In one study, a freeze-dried protein formed more aggregates when it was reconstituted with 0.9% benzyl alcohol than with plain water (Roy et al., 2005). In NMR work on an acylated peptide, benzyl alcohol showed no detectable interaction (Li et al., 2022). Use the diluent that your compound's own product page calls for.
This solution is made in the USA. Each batch is tested by an independent lab before release. The certificate for each published lot is on this page, under the lab that tested it: Chromate or ILS Laboratories.
Every order ships with certificate access for its lot. To check a vial, match its lot to the report in the COA portal.
You can read about the outside labs we work with: ILS Laboratories and Chromate. For cited research, storage notes and common questions, read our research guide.
Retain the product label and lot number with the research record. Review the matching certificate of analysis for test coverage and reported results. Identity, analytical purity, measured content, sterility and endotoxin testing are distinct assessments; one does not establish the others.
Follow the supplied label and your laboratory’s validated handling and storage procedures. Record the vehicle, concentration and preparation date where relevant. Dry-material stability does not establish the shelf life of a prepared solution.
Match the compound or ingredient identity, format, labeled quantity and shipping lot. Similar names or different formulations should not be treated as equivalent.
Open the linked certificate for the assigned lot or use the COA portal. Check sample identity, methods, date and reported measurements. A report for another lot or formulation is not a substitute.
The current certificate is matched to the selected product option and assigned shipping batch.
