Description
BAC Water South Africa – Bacteriostatic Water 10 mL
Looking for BAC water in South Africa? B&A Premium supplies this 10 mL bacteriostatic water through our online store. Check the current price and availability above, and review the composition, storage and safety information below before ordering.
Bacteriostatic water is a preparation diluent rather than a peptide or an active treatment. This 10 mL listing contains water for injection with 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative and is supplied in its original protective packaging.
Overview
Its role is to provide an aqueous diluent only where the relevant product instructions specify this type of preparation. The presence of a preservative distinguishes bacteriostatic water from preservative-free sterile water; the two must not be treated as universally interchangeable.
Purpose and Practical Features
- Preparation support: A diluent can be used in a specified preparation process when compatibility has been established by the relevant instructions.
- Preservative: Benzyl alcohol provides bacteriostatic activity, limiting bacterial growth under appropriate conditions. It does not sterilise contaminated material.
- Clearly specified volume: The 10 mL size and listed composition allow the preparation to be identified separately from the compound being studied. They do not establish compatibility with every peptide.
Mechanism / Role
Water acts as the solvent, while benzyl alcohol acts as the preservative. Neither function establishes a therapeutic benefit from the diluent itself. Compatibility, stability and storage of a resulting preparation depend on the other material and its validated instructions.
Important Information
Not for direct injection on its own. Benzyl-alcohol-containing preparations are not for use in newborns. A preservative does not replace sterile technique or guarantee sterility after contamination. No preparation ratios, injection instructions or universal after-opening shelf life are supplied here.
Product Details
Volume: 10 mL
Each mL contains:
Benzyl Alcohol IP — 0.9% w/v
Water for Injection IP — q.s.
Sterile, Nonpyrogenic
For use as a diluent where specified by the relevant product instructions. Not for direct injection on its own.
NOT FOR USE IN NEWBORNS
Storage
Follow the original package label and the relevant preparation instructions. Keep the protective packaging and check the expiry date and container integrity. Storage requirements for a prepared peptide cannot be inferred from the diluent alone.
Reference Information
DailyMed: Bacteriostatic Water label — general diluent, preservative and safety information. This external label is a reference for the preparation class, not a certification or approval of the B&A listing.
Potential Benefits / Practical Role
This diluent provides a specified liquid preparation medium where compatible product instructions call for it. It has no independent therapeutic or peptide benefit; preservative action does not sterilise contaminated material.
Scientific Profile
- Product class: Aqueous diluent
- Listed volume: 10 mL
- Listed preservative: Benzyl alcohol 0.9% w/v
- Compatibility: Must be established by the relevant preparation instructions; sterile water and bacteriostatic water are not universally interchangeable
Research Areas
- Diluent identification and compatibility assessment
- Preservative and contamination limitations
- Preparation-specific storage and handling documentation
Browse the Essentials collection for the current accessory range, or compare lyophilised powder vials. Bacteriostatic water is sold separately; suitability depends on the specific formulation and supplied documentation.
Warnings, Contraindications & Safety Information
This product-specific safety summary does not replace the supplied label, manufacturer instructions or professional assessment. It is not a complete prescribing document.
Contraindications & Who Should Avoid Exposure
Do not use in newborns or in anyone allergic to benzyl alcohol or another labelled ingredient. A clinician must assess any actual exposure; this page does not provide instructions for administration.
Warnings & Precautions
Not for direct injection on its own. Benzyl-alcohol-containing preparations are not for use in newborns. Compatibility must be established separately and no universal after-opening shelf life is supplied. A preservative does not correct contamination.
Possible Adverse Reactions
Allergy, irritation, contamination-related harm and formulation incompatibility are possible. The reference label does not certify this particular container.
Drug & Supplement Interactions
Compatibility depends on the compound, excipients and validated instructions. Do not assume that this water is suitable for every peptide or formulation.
When to Seek Urgent Help
Seek emergency care for difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, collapse, severe persistent abdominal pain, or repeated vomiting with inability to keep fluids down. Stop further exposure and show the clinician the product label and ingredient list.
Handling & Storage Cautions
Follow the actual product label and batch-specific expiry information. Do not use damaged, contaminated or unexpectedly changed material. Appearance alone does not prove sterility, compatibility or a safe shelf life. Follow the product-specific packaging and handling instructions.
