Description
Bac water is the diluent that sits alongside almost every lyophilized compound on a research bench. If you are working with research peptides in Canada, this is what you draw into a syringe to reconstitute a powdered vial into a workable solution — a sealed vial of bacteriostatic water, offered in 3 mL and 10 mL formats and available as a single vial or a box of ten for labs that reconstitute frequently.
Overview
Each unit is a sealed vial of bacteriostatic water intended for in-vitro laboratory use. Unlike a single-use sterile water ampoule, bacteriostatic water contains a bacteriostatic agent, which is what allows a vial to be entered more than once with a fresh sterile needle rather than discarded after one withdrawal. That makes it the practical choice when a single lyophilized vial is reconstituted and drawn from across a series of experiments. Choose the 3 mL size for one-off reconstitutions or small-volume work where a large vial would go to waste, and the 10 mL for benches running multiple reconstitutions from the same diluent supply. Boxes of ten suit labs that want a standing stock on hand rather than reordering vial by vial. Stock is held and dispatched from Canada, so there is no cross-border wait between ordering and being able to use it.
What it is known for
Bac water is the accessory researchers reach for because it is the multi-dose option: the preservative content is the whole reason a reconstituted vial can be revisited over days of work instead of being consumed in one sitting. Buyers choose it here for straightforward reasons — sealed presentation, a size and pack format that matches how much they actually use, and domestic shipping from a Canadian-owned supplier, so the diluent arrives with the compounds it is meant to be paired with rather than separately and late.
Key features
- Bacteriostatic formulation — Permits repeated withdrawals from the same vial with a fresh sterile needle each time, so one reconstituted preparation can serve a run of work instead of a single use.
- 3 mL and 10 mL vial sizes — Lets you match diluent volume to the reconstitution you are actually performing, avoiding both waste from an oversized vial and the interruption of running short mid-protocol.
- Single vial or box of ten — Occasional users buy exactly what they need; labs reconstituting regularly keep a shelf stock and stop reordering piecemeal.
- Sealed vial with stoppered closure — The vial is designed to be entered with a needle rather than opened, which keeps the contents of a partially used vial protected between withdrawals.
- Batch-matched certificate of analysis programme — Purchases across the catalogue are backed by independent third-party analysis with documentation tied to the specific batch, so records can be traced rather than assumed.
- Stocked and shipped domestically — No customs delay or border risk between order and bench, and tracked delivery nationwide.
Benefits
- A single reconstituted vial stays usable across multiple sessions instead of being spent in one
- Buy the volume the protocol calls for rather than paying for solvent you will discard
- Bulk boxes keep a working supply on the shelf so reconstitution is never held up waiting on a delivery
- Ordered alongside lyophilized compounds from the same Canadian supplier, so everything needed for reconstitution arrives together
- Traceable documentation practices across the catalogue support proper laboratory record-keeping

- Preparing working dilutions from a reconstituted stock
- Multi-session in-vitro protocols where a single reconstituted vial is drawn from repeatedly
- Maintaining a standing laboratory diluent stock alongside a peptide inventory
Important information
- Enter the vial with a fresh sterile needle on every withdrawal and swab the stopper beforehand — the bacteriostatic agent limits growth, it does not undo contamination introduced by reused equipment.
- Do not open the vial by breaking the seal; it is intended to be accessed through the stopper.
- Store vials as directed on the label, away from heat and direct light, and keep them in their packaging until use.
- Check the size against your protocol before ordering — 3 mL suits a single small reconstitution, 10 mL suits repeated or larger-volume work.
- Bacteriostatic water is not interchangeable with plain sterile water in every protocol; confirm the preservative is compatible with the compound and the assay you are running.
- Research use only. This product is not a drug, supplement, food or cosmetic, is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and is not for human or veterinary use, ingestion or administration.
Common questions
What is the difference between bacteriostatic water and sterile water?
Sterile water is free of microorganisms at the moment it is sealed but has nothing in it to keep it that way once opened, so it is treated as single-use. Bacteriostatic water contains a bacteriostatic agent that inhibits microbial growth, which is what makes a vial suitable for multiple withdrawals under proper aseptic technique.
Which size should I choose?
Match it to the reconstitution volume your protocol specifies. A 3 mL vial covers a single small reconstitution with little left over; a 10 mL vial suits labs reconstituting several vials or drawing repeatedly from the same diluent supply. If you reconstitute regularly, the boxes of ten reduce reordering.
How many times can I enter a vial?
Bacteriostatic water is formulated for multi-dose access, but each entry must use a fresh sterile needle and a swabbed stopper. Follow the vial label and your own laboratory’s handling procedures for in-use limits, and discard any vial whose contents look cloudy, discoloured or contain particulate.
How should it be stored?
Keep vials in their packaging at the storage conditions given on the label, out of direct light and away from heat. Once a vial has been entered, note the date and handle it as an in-use container.
Does this come with a certificate of analysis?
Products across the catalogue are supported by independent third-party analysis with documentation matched to the batch supplied. Request the certificate for your batch if it is needed for your records.
Where does it ship from?
Orders are dispatched from within Canada with tracked nationwide delivery, so there is no international customs step between ordering and receiving it.
In summary
A straightforward, essential piece of bench stock: sealed bacteriostatic water in 3 mL and 10 mL vials, single or ten-pack, backed by third-party testing documentation and shipped domestically. Order it with your lyophilized compounds so reconstitution is not the thing holding up the work. For laboratory research use only.

I mean its Bac water, what is there to say? it’s just necessary to reconstitute your peps. but I was prompted to write a review since it was in my order.
