BAC Water, also known as Bacteriostatic Water, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution commonly used in laboratory environments for the reconstitution and dilution of research peptides and other compatible research compounds. It contains Water for Injection with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative to help inhibit bacterial growth after the vial has been opened. Helix Bio supplies research-grade BAC Water exclusively for laboratory, analytical, and educational research applications. This product is intended for research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary use.

BAC Water is one of the most commonly used laboratory solutions for reconstituting lyophilized research peptides. Because many peptides are supplied in a freeze-dried form to maximize stability during storage and shipping, researchers often require a sterile diluent before beginning laboratory experiments. Unlike sterile water without preservatives, BAC Water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which helps inhibit the growth of bacteria after the vial has been opened, making it a preferred option for laboratory protocols involving repeated withdrawals under proper aseptic conditions.
BAC Water is sterile Water for Injection containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It is important to understand that BAC Water itself is not an active research compound — it serves as a laboratory preparation solution that helps researchers dissolve compatible materials according to their experimental protocols.
This product exists to support laboratory reconstitution workflows only. It is manufactured, labeled, and sold for research use only (RUO) — not for human or veterinary use. Researchers frequently use BAC Water when preparing lyophilized research peptides, research proteins, laboratory reference compounds, and other compatible research reagents.
Choosing the right reconstitution solution is just as important as selecting high-quality research peptides. Helix Bio's BAC Water is selected by researchers because it offers dependable quality, consistent manufacturing, and suitability for scientific research, with a bacteriostatic formulation that makes it a practical choice for laboratory environments where multiple withdrawals may be required.
This product is not intended for individual consumers seeking to use it outside a research setting.

BAC Water is used as a laboratory preparation solution rather than an active research compound. Common applications include:
BAC Water should always be used according to established laboratory protocols and only with compatible research materials. Everything sold by Helix Bio is intended for laboratory research only, not for administration to humans or animals.
Helix Bio supplies BAC Water as a sterile, non-pyrogenic solution containing Water for Injection and 0.9% benzyl alcohol. Maintaining sterility is essential for laboratory preparation procedures involving lyophilized peptides. Each production batch is handled with attention to sterile manufacturing procedures, product consistency, batch traceability, and secure packaging.
BAC Water ships in a sterile, sealed laboratory vial with protective packaging designed to minimize handling damage during transit. Upon receipt, researchers should inspect the packaging and vial before use; if any damage, leakage, or compromised seal is observed, the product should not be used. Refer to Helix Bio's shipping policy page for current carrier and processing information.
BAC Water sold by Helix Bio is intended exclusively for laboratory, analytical, and scientific research applications. It is not a drug, dietary supplement, cosmetic, or food product, and it is not approved by the FDA or any regulatory body for human or veterinary use, diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease or condition. This product should only be handled by qualified professionals using appropriate laboratory techniques and in accordance with applicable regulations, institutional policies, and safety guidelines.
