Bacteriostatic Water Question

[MidwestBeast]

Posted this over on the NTBM forum, but figured I'd toss it up over here, as well:

Okay, so I'm getting ready to do some work with CJC1295 (w/ DAC). At my go-to place, bac. water was OOS, so I had to look elsewhere.

Well, in my haste, I nabbed 100mL of what I thought was bac. water by means of a benzyl alcohol solution. Seems I ended up with 100% benzyl alcohol.

So, what I need to do is create my own solution.

Research tells me that bac. water is a 0.9% solution of benzyl alcohol (so 0.9g BA per mL). Common sense would lead me to believe that I just need to get sterile water and add it to that.

Is this the right move? or do I need to be getting/doing something else?

This is my first go 'round with peptides (well versed in the SARM market, etc.), so I just want to be 100% on this.

Thanks in advance for the help, guys.

Did you do a search for BAC water? I did and found 10 places in 2 seconds.

Heres what you need.

-Several amount of distilled/sterile water
-Clean and alcohol rubbed beaker
-Empty sterile vials of your choice
-Several needles (preferably 18guage)
-Several syringes
-Benzyl Alcohol
-.45um syringe filter
-.20um syringe filter
I normally make either 100ml or 1000ml of bacteriostatic water, and in this lesson we will do both.

1. Put water in the beaker and bring it to the boiling points by heating on stove, and let it boil for 10 minutes. You dont have to do this, but I like my water to be extra sterile.

2. After cooling down the water, filter the water through .45um syringe filter into sterile empty vials.


3. Add benzyl alcohol. Now, 1% of benzyl alchol content is all you need, and can be painful if you over do it. If your making 100ml of bacteriostatic water, add 1ml of benzyl alchol into 99ml of water solution you filtered. If your making 1000ml of bacteriostaticwater, add 10ml of benzyl alcohol into 990ml of sterile water you filtered.


4. Now draw the solution and filter again using .20um syringe filter.

5. Place again in another sterile vial.

Didn't need to. Place I picked up other stuff from had the benzyl alcohol; I hastily just added it thinking it was solution (e.g. bac water) and not 100% B.A. -- I was wrong.

Now that I have it, I'm just confirming what I need to do to make my own bacteriostatic water.

Awesome. Thank you, bro.

Exactly what I was looking for.

??? Dude, the stuff is like three dollars a vial. Splurge.

That's the easiest and what I do. I buy the shit. After buying the material needed you Could have had the shit sent to you and already mixed. I made it once and fuck that. Never again. I'm lazy and would rather buy it lol
