Product Information
What is BAC Water?
BAC Water stands for Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, a sterile, non-pyrogenic aqueous solution containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative in purified water. It is a pharmaceutical-grade solvent designed to dilute or dissolve water-soluble medications, peptides, and therapeutic substances for parenteral or topical application.
Key Physicochemical Properties
- Active preservative: Benzyl alcohol 0.9% w/v
- Base: Sterile, isotonic‑compatible purified water
- Osmolality: Near‑physiologic range
- Appearance: Clear, colorless, odorless liquid
- Function: Inhibits bacterial growth and prevents contamination during repeated use
- Regulatory class: Pharmaceutical excipient, solvent, and diluent
Unlike sterile water for single use, BAC Water supports multiple withdrawals over extended storage while maintaining microbial stability.
Target User Populations
BAC Water is intended for clinical, research, and therapeutic use under professional guidance.
- Medical & Clinical Settings
- Healthcare providers diluting injectable medications, antibiotics, or hormone therapies
- Clinicians preparing multi‑dose vials for repeated administration
- Peptide & Biologic Administration
- Individuals using therapeutic peptides under medical supervision
- Research personnel reconstituting peptides, proteins, or bioreagents
- Topical & Irrigation Applications
- Users requiring sterile, mildly antiseptic aqueous solutions for wound care, skin preparation, or device rinsing
- Laboratory & Research Use
- Researchers preparing sterile aqueous solutions for cell culture, analytical testing, or experimental dosing
Mechanism of Action
1. Bacteriostatic Preservation
Benzyl alcohol at 0.9% exerts reversible growth inhibition against a broad spectrum of Gram‑positive and Gram‑negative bacteria by disrupting microbial cell membrane integrity and suppressing essential metabolic enzymes. It prevents proliferation but does not necessarily sterilize the solution.
2. Solvent & Stabilizing Action
The aqueous base provides a biocompatible medium for dissolving polar compounds, peptides, and hydrophilic drugs without altering their structural or functional integrity.
3. Low Irritancy & Biocompatibility
Near‑physiologic tonality and controlled pH minimize tissue irritation, making it suitable for repeated cutaneous or subcutaneous exposure.
4. Multi‑Use Stability
Inhibition of bacterial contamination allows repeated puncture and withdrawal from a single vial without significant microbial growth during labeled storage conditions.
