What Is Bacteriostatic Water?
Bacteriostatic water, usually shortened to BAC water, is sterile water that contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. That works out to 9 mg of benzyl alcohol in every milliliter. "Bacteriostatic" means the preservative inhibits the growth of most bacteria that might enter the vial; it does not sterilize a contaminated solution, and it is not a substitute for clean technique.
In a peptide laboratory BAC water is the default diluent for reconstituting lyophilized material. Plain sterile water has no preservative, so a vial is generally meant to be opened once. The benzyl alcohol in BAC water is what allows a container to be entered through the stopper several times over a working period, which suits labs that draw from the same stock across multiple sessions. V8 Peptides supplies it in a 10 mL sealed glass vial.

Reconstitution & Storage for Research
The volume of BAC water added to a peptide vial determines the stock concentration. The formula never changes: concentration (mg/mL) = peptide in the vial (mg) ÷ BAC water added (mL).
Concentration math
- Adding 2 mL of BAC water to a 10 mg peptide vial gives 5 mg/mL.
- Adding 1 mL to a 5 mg vial also gives 5 mg/mL.
- Adding 3 mL to a 30 mg vial gives 10 mg/mL.
- For a blend, divide each component separately: a 10 mg / 10 mg vial in 2 mL is 5 mg/mL of each peptide.
One 10 mL vial is enough to reconstitute five peptide vials at 2 mL each, or ten vials at 1 mL each. Plan the volume before opening anything, and confirm it with the reconstitution calculator; the calculator guide explains the inputs.
Handling at the bench
- Wipe both stoppers with 70% isopropyl alcohol and let them dry before transfer.
- Release the water slowly down the inner wall of the peptide vial, not directly onto the powder.
- Swirl gently until the solution is clear. Do not shake.
- Label the peptide vial with the concentration and the preparation date.
Storage conditions
Store unopened BAC water at controlled room temperature and out of direct light. Do not freeze it. After the stopper has been punctured for the first time, write the date on the vial; many laboratories follow the common 28-day convention for preserved multi-use containers and discard what remains after that. Discard the vial sooner if the liquid looks cloudy, discolored or contains particles. Our article does bacteriostatic water expire? covers shelf life in more detail.
Quality & Testing
A diluent touches every sample it is used with, so its quality matters as much as the peptide's. This product is supplied as USP grade with a verified 0.9% benzyl alcohol content, in a sealed vial with lot identification.
- USP-grade sterile solution
- Identity verified, with lot number for traceability
- Documentation available for receiving records
Batch documentation is available through our COA page, alongside the HPLC certificates published for tested peptide lots.
