COA

Bacteriostatic water, a sterile solution containing benzyl alcohol, is utilized primarily for diluting or dissolving medications for injection. Recent bacteriostatic water research highlights its effectiveness in maintaining the stability and integrity of pharmaceutical agents, thereby enhancing their therapeutic potential. This solution is particularly valuable in clinical settings where multi-dose vials are employed, as it helps prevent microbial growth. Understanding the properties and applications of bacteriostatic water is essential for ensuring patient safety and optimal medication delivery.

Description

Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic aqueous solution containing 0.9% (9 mg/mL) benzyl alcohol as an antimicrobial preservative. The benzyl alcohol functions by disrupting microbial cell membranes, inhibiting bacterial proliferation without killing existing organisms. This preservative action permits multiple withdrawals from a single multi-dose vial under aseptic conditions, with a recommended in-use period of up to 28 days following first puncture. The solution maintains a pH range of 4.5–7.0. In laboratory research, BAC Water is widely used as a diluent for reconstituting lyophilised compounds, peptides, and proteins. Researchers should verify compound compatibility with benzyl alcohol prior to use, as interactions with certain formulations have been documented.

For research use only. Not intended for use in humans or animals.

What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as signalling molecules in the body, playing a role in a wide range of biological processes including tissue repair, immune response, and cellular communication.

How are peptides used in research?

In research settings, peptides are studied for their ability to interact with specific receptors and biological pathways. This makes them valuable tools for scientific and laboratory analysis, helping researchers better understand how the body functions at a cellular level.

What payment methods do you accept?

We currently accept Credit Card, SEPA bank transfer, iDeal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT).

How should I store my peptides?

All peptides are supplied in lyophilised (freeze-dried) form, ensuring stability during shipping and long-term storage. Unreconstituted vials should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct light, with refrigeration recommended for extended periods. Once reconstituted for research purposes, peptides should be kept refrigerated and handled using sterile laboratory practices to maintain integrity throughout use.

How does shipping and delivery work?

Orders are processed and dispatched within 48 hours of purchase. Delivery typically takes 6-9 business days depending on your location. Tracking information is available directly on our website. Free shipping is applied automatically on all orders over 150 euros.

Do you offer refunds or returns?

Due to the nature of research products, we are unable to accept returns. However if your order arrives damaged or incorrect please contact us within 48 hours.

How can I be sure of product quality?

All our products are lab-tested by Janoshik to ensure high purity and compliance with research-grade quality standards.
