Bacteriostatic Water 0.9% – Bac Water
Bacteriostatic Water, commonly known as Bac Water, is a preserved aqueous solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. Its carefully prepared composition makes it a convenient and dependable laboratory diluent for controlled research-material preparation, dissolution and analytical workflows.
The addition of benzyl alcohol helps limit bacterial growth after the vial has been opened, making Bac Water particularly practical for laboratory procedures that require repeated withdrawals under controlled conditions.
Supplied in a securely sealed vial, Bacteriostatic Water offers researchers a convenient ready-to-use solution with clear product information, professional packaging and fast delivery from Peptides Divas.

What Is Bacteriostatic Water?
Bacteriostatic Water is a water-based solution containing benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative.
The standard concentration of 0.9% benzyl alcohol equals 9 mg of benzyl alcohol per millilitre of solution. The preservative helps inhibit bacterial growth, supporting controlled laboratory handling after the vial has been accessed.
This makes Bac Water different from ordinary purified water and preservative-free sterile water. Its preserved composition is designed for laboratory procedures where repeated withdrawals from the same vial may be required.
Laboratory Applications
Bacteriostatic Water may be used in professional laboratory environments involving:
- Research-material dissolution
- Controlled laboratory dilution
- Sample preparation
- Analytical workflow preparation
- Peptide-solubility studies
- Solution-compatibility research
- Comparative solvent analysis
- Laboratory method development
- Stability testing
- Small-volume liquid handling
- Research-formulation preparation
- Educational laboratory procedures
The receiving laboratory is responsible for confirming that Bac Water is compatible with the specific material, compound and analytical method being studied.
0.9% Benzyl Alcohol
Benzyl alcohol is included as a bacteriostatic preservative. Its presence helps limit the multiplication of bacteria after the vial has been accessed under appropriate laboratory conditions.
Key characteristics of the formulation include:
- 0.9% benzyl alcohol concentration
- Equivalent to 9 mg per mL
- Preserved water-based composition
- Suitable for controlled multi-withdrawal laboratory handling
- Convenient alternative to preparing a preserved solution separately
- Consistent composition across the sealed vial
Bacteriostatic Water should not be confused with bacteriostatic saline, which also contains sodium chloride.
Convenient Ready-to-Use Format
Bac Water is supplied in a practical sealed vial that can be easily stored alongside research peptides, analytical materials and other laboratory accessories.
The ready-prepared format provides several advantages:
- No separate preservative preparation required
- Consistent benzyl alcohol concentration
- Reduced laboratory preparation time
- Convenient small-volume handling
- Easy integration into existing workflows
- Professional and organised storage
- Suitable for research supply kits
