Bac Water

Bacteriostatic water is sterile water for injection containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol, a preservative that limits microbial growth so a vial can be accessed more than once. NOX supplies it as a laboratory reconstitution solvent for research use only; the information here is educational and not guidance for any human, clinical or veterinary use.

It is the standard solvent used to reconstitute lyophilised (freeze-dried) research peptides, dissolving the dry powder into a liquid so the material can be handled and measured in the laboratory. It is a preparation aid rather than a research compound in its own right, and is supplied strictly for research use only.

The 0.9% benzyl alcohol is a bacteriostatic preservative: it limits the growth of microorganisms, which is what allows a multi-dose vial to be drawn from more than once during laboratory work. Plain sterile water offers no such protection. This is general laboratory context; the solvent is provided for research use only.

NOX supplies bacteriostatic water as a sterile, clear, colourless liquid in a 10 ml multi-dose glass vial with a rubber stopper. Unlike lyophilised peptides it is ready to use and does not require reconstitution. It is a research reference material for research use only, with no human, clinical or veterinary application.

Bacteriostatic water is kept at room temperature, around 15–25°C, away from direct sunlight, with the vial sealed between uses. Because it is already in solution it is not frozen like a lyophilised peptide; refer to the vial label for shelf life. This describes general laboratory handling and is provided for research use only.

As a general laboratory reference, roughly 1–2 ml is added per peptide vial, though the exact volume a researcher chooses sets the final working concentration of the reconstituted material. This is educational context about reconstitution technique, not dosing guidance, and the solvent is supplied for research use only.

Bacteriostatic water is the most commonly used solvent for reconstituting lyophilised research peptides in multi-use vials. Some materials are instead prepared with plain sterile or acidified water depending on the study, the choice is a laboratory decision. NOX supplies bacteriostatic water solely as a research reference material for research use only.

A sealed bottle stored at room temperature and away from light remains usable until the date printed on the label. Once the seal is broken, the 0.9% benzyl alcohol lets it be drawn from for around 28 days under normal laboratory conditions, the standard pharmacopoeial figure for benzyl-alcohol-preserved water. This is general laboratory context and is provided for research use only.

Yes. Bac Water is supplied by NOX strictly as a research reference material for laboratory and analytical use. It is not a medicinal product, food, cosmetic or veterinary product, and nothing in these answers should be read as guidance for human or animal use.
