Description

BAC Water

Bacteriostatic Water for Pharmaceutical & Laboratory Applications

BAC Water, commonly known as Bacteriostatic Water, is sterile water containing a small amount of a bacteriostatic preservative, typically benzyl alcohol, that helps inhibit the growth of microorganisms after the container has been opened.

It is commonly used as a diluent or solvent for compatible pharmaceutical preparations and laboratory applications where a preserved sterile aqueous medium is required.

Quality & Specifications

Quality documentation may include:

  • Sterility testing
  • Appearance
  • pH
  • Preservative concentration
  • Container volume
  • Batch or lot number
  • Certificate of Analysis (COA)

Product specifications can vary by manufacturer, so the manufacturer’s official label and batch documentation should be used for exact composition and storage requirements.

Important Safety & Use Disclaimer

BAC Water is not interchangeable with sterile water for injection or other diluents in every application. The presence of benzyl alcohol makes it unsuitable for certain uses and patient populations.

Use should follow the specific manufacturer’s labeling, compatibility requirements, and applicable medical or laboratory procedures. This product description does not provide instructions for mixing, injection, dosing, or administration.
