Genetek Lifesciences BAC Water — Sterile Lab Diluent (10ml)

 

Product overview

Genetek Lifesciences BAC Water is a premium sterile laboratory diluent formulated for research and in‑vitro workflows. Commonly referred to as BAC Water, this product is a bacteriostatic water formulation containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol to help minimise microbial contamination during repeated access. Designed to support reproducible results, each 10ml vial is manufactured to be non‑pyrogenic and sterile for consistent laboratory performance.

Why choose BAC Water for laboratory use

BAC Water provides researchers with a reliable, preserved medium for reagent preparation and sample dilution. The inclusion of 0.9% benzyl alcohol gives this bacteriostatic water its preservative properties, allowing controlled multi‑withdrawal use in controlled environments when proper aseptic technique is followed. Laboratories that require repeated sampling or multi‑stage reconstitution commonly select BAC Water to reduce the risk of contamination in long workflows.

Technical specifications

Recommended laboratory applications

• Reconstitution: Ideal for reconstituting lyophilised reagents and other lab-grade compounds where a preserved solvent is preferred.

• Sample dilution: Use for preparing analytical samples and dilutions that require low microbial background.

• In‑vitro assays: Suitable for cell-free assays and chemical protocols that benefit from preserved, multi‑access vials.

The role of 0.9% benzyl alcohol

Benzyl alcohol at 0.9% acts as a bacteriostatic agent that helps suppress the growth of many environmental microbes if the vial is accessed multiple times. In practical lab use, this preservative prolongs the functional life of the vial contents under appropriate handling. It is important to follow your institute’s aseptic procedures: disinfect the stopper before access, use sterile syringes or pipettes, and minimise exposure to unsterile surfaces.

Handling, storage and best practice

To preserve product integrity, store vials upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Maintain the original seal until first use. Employ standard aseptic technique when withdrawing liquid and dispose of used vials according to local laboratory waste procedures. While the benzyl alcohol provides bacteriostatic protection, opened vials should be used according to your laboratory’s internal policy (for example, within a recommended time window after first access).
