Commonly written as bac water, bacwater, back water, bacstat water, bacteria static water, bacteriostatic water for peptides or BW 10mL, it is the standard sterile diluent, preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, for reconstituting lyophilised research peptides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBacteriostatic water is sterile, purified water to which 0.9% benzyl alcohol has been added as a preservative. It is the standard multi-draw diluent used in peptide laboratories to dissolve lyophilised powders into a working solution, and the diluent recommended on every research peptide page at Omega Peptides Australia. It is often shortened to bac water or BAC water, appears on labels as bacteriostatic water for injection, and is sometimes confused with bacteriostatic saline, a different product that also contains 0.9% sodium chloride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis page is the \u003cstrong\u003e10mL vial\u003c\/strong\u003e, the better-value size for labs running several peptides or dilution series, bringing the per-mL cost down by about 40% compared with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bacteriostatic-water-3ml\"\u003e3mL vial\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn research settings it does three main jobs: reconstituting lyophilised peptides, preparing serial dilutions and working stocks, and keeping an opened vial usable across repeated draws. The benzyl alcohol does the preservative work. At 0.9% it disrupts bacterial cell membranes and inhibits replication, so any organism introduced during a needle entry cannot multiply inside the vial. The effect is bacteriostatic rather than sterilising, which is why an opened multi-draw vial is limited to 28 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOmega Peptides Australia supplies this 10mL bacteriostatic water vial as the companion diluent to its high-purity (≥99% HPLC), COA-verified lyophilised research peptides.

Benzyl alcohol partitions into microbial cell membranes, increases their permeability and denatures membrane-bound proteins. At this concentration it does not sterilise a contaminated solution; it stops the few organisms that may enter through a needle puncture from growing to a meaningful population. That is the distinction between bacteriostatic, meaning growth-inhibiting, and bactericidal, meaning killing. Because the water is sterile-filled and the septum reseals after each draw, the preservative only has to hold the line against incidental contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacteriostatic water is unbuffered and slightly acidic, typically around pH 5.7 within an accepted range of 4.5 to 7.0, so it is a solvent rather than a physiological buffer. It is also hypotonic, containing no dissolved salts, which separates it from bacteriostatic saline. Sterile water for injection is the unpreserved sibling, intended for single entry, and dilute acetic acid serves the few peptides that resist dissolving at near-neutral pH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBacteriostatic Water (sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBac water, BAC water, bacteriostatic water for injection, benzyl alcohol 0.9% water, bacwater, bacteriostatic water for peptides, BW 10mL, back water, bac wayer, bacstat water, bacteria static water, bacterial water\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCAS number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBenzyl alcohol 100-51-6; water 7732-18-5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular formula\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBenzyl alcohol C7H8O; water H2O\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBenzyl alcohol 108.14 g\/mol; water 18.02 g\/mol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLab supplies (reconstitution diluent)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreservative\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBenzyl alcohol 0.9% w\/v (about 9mg per mL)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClear, colourless sterile solution in a sealed vial with a resealable septum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis vial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10mL — $29.99 (also available as a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bacteriostatic-water-3ml\"\u003e3mL vial\u003c\/a\u003e — $14.99)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage (unopened)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoom temperature, 20–25°C, protect from light, do not freeze\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage (after first puncture)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUse within 28 days; keep the septum clean and the vial capped\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e10mL vial: pricing and who it suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10mL vial is $29.99, about $3.00 per mL, which is roughly 40% cheaper per mL than the 3mL vial.
