Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic water preparation containing a small amount of benzyl alcohol. Within research environments, it is commonly used as a diluent for the reconstitution of lyophilized compounds.
The benzyl alcohol acts as a preservative that helps inhibit bacterial growth after initial vial entry, making BAC Water a preferred option for many laboratory applications.
Researchers should always use proper sterile handling techniques when working with BAC Water and reconstituted compounds.
