$9.00
Description
🧪 Product Profile: Bac.water (Bacteriostatic Water)
Product Name: Bac.water (Bacteriostatic Water for Injection)
CAS Number: 7732-18-5
Category: Sterile solvent; pharmaceutical-grade diluent
Form: Clear, colorless liquid in sealed glass vials
Composition: Purified water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol (antimicrobial preservative)
pH: 5.7-7.0 (buffered for stability)
Sterility: Aseptically processed; pyrogen-free (<0.25 EU/mL)
🔍 Key Properties
- Physical Characteristics:
- Density: 1.00 g/mL at 25°C
- Osmolality: ~280 mOsm/kg
- Boiling Point: 100°C (same as pure water)
- Storage Stability:
- Unopened vials: 2-25°C for 36 months (protected from light)
- After first use: Refrigerate (2-8°C) and use within 28 days
- Supply Specifications: Available in 3mL, 5mL, 10mL, and 30mL vials; 10 vials per box
🧪 Primary Applications
Bac.water serves as a specialized diluent in research and pharmaceutical settings:
- Peptide Reconstitution: Dissolves lyophilized peptides (e.g., ARA-290, Thymalin) for in vitro studies or animal injections
- Biological Sample Preparation: Dilutes enzymes, antibodies, and cell culture reagents
- Drug Formulation: Used in small-scale compounding of injectable solutions (research use only)
- Hydration Control: Maintains osmotic balance in cell-based assays
⚙️ Mechanism of Action
- Antimicrobial Preservation: Benzyl alcohol (0.9%) inhibits bacterial growth by disrupting cell membranes, allowing multiple withdrawals from a single vial without contamination
- Solvent Properties: High dielectric constant enables dissolution of polar and ionic compounds
- Isotonicity: Mimics physiological osmolarity to prevent cell lysis or shrinkage
📋 Handling & Safety
- Reconstitution Guidelines:
- Slowly inject Bac.water into lyophilized powder vials to avoid foaming
- Gently swirl (do not shake) to ensure complete dissolution
- Allow solution to reach room temperature before use
- Safety Considerations:
- For laboratory/research use only (not for human or animal clinical use)
- Avoid contact with eyes; flush with water if exposed
- Dispose of unused solution as biohazardous waste
📦 Packaging & Logistics
- Container: Type I borosilicate glass vials with butyl rubber stoppers and aluminum seals
- Transport: Ambient temperature shipping (20-30°C); no special cold chain required
- Regulatory Status: Complies with USP <797> and EP sterility standards for non-clinical use
⚠️ Critical Distinction
Bac.water is not the same as sterile water for injection (SWFI):
| Parameter | Bac.water | Sterile Water for Injection |
|---|---|---|
| Preservative | Contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol | No preservatives |
| Multiple Use | Yes (up to 28 days post-opening) | Single-use only |
| Typical Application | Peptide reconstitution | Immediate injection preparation |
