BAC Water

BAC Water (Bacteriostatic Water for Injection) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution of water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. The addition of benzyl alcohol inhibits bacterial growth, allowing the solution to be used multiple times from the same vial when handled under proper sterile conditions.

BAC Water is commonly used in research and clinical settings as a diluent or reconstitution solution for lyophilized (freeze-dried) compounds.

In laboratory and medical environments, BAC Water is used for:

• Reconstituting lyophilized peptides and medications

• Diluting injectable compounds

• Allowing multi-dose vial usage due to bacteriostatic properties

• Supporting sterile preparation procedures

The benzyl alcohol component provides antimicrobial protection, which helps prevent bacterial contamination during repeated withdrawals. However, it is not intended for use in neonates due to sensitivity to benzyl alcohol.

BAC Water contains no active therapeutic compounds. Its role is strictly as a sterile carrier solution to dissolve or dilute other substances for research or medical preparation.

As with all sterile solutions, proper storage, handling, and aseptic technique are essential to maintain sterility and safety.
