Where to store this Bac Water after use?

30ml Bacteriostatic Water (each)

Purchase Bacteriostatic Water 30mL vial. Save with a trusted source, fast and discreet shipping.

www.bacteriostaticwater.com

Product says to sit at room temperature and it’s only good 28 days after opening.

Can’t be buying a new via of bac water for each vial of peptide I gotta run so what would be the best approach

Should be kept in the fridge after opening, From other people's experience I have seen people say they have used it for 3 months, but for me personally I use 3ml Bac not 10ml bottles to save the trouble of having to store it after opened, Bac is cheap compared to Peps, best not risk it and make cloudy when reconstituting

 

[BNLFL]

I've seen fridge, room temp, so not sure who's right. I have zero issues using an open vial for 3 months. No cap, but still sealed. that's just me.

 

[ambot88]

I store in the fridge and use for a long time.

Where you get the 3 ml bottles man?

This is purely anecdotal. My last Hospira lasted about 7 months living in a kitchen drawer.

The correct answer is room temp
The reason is that Benzyl alcohol tends to separate from water at low temps..

You can store at the fridge but before you use it again leave it at room temperature for some time (this step is important To help the benzyl alcohol that has separated return to the ideal temperature to dissolve again in order to have again 0.9mg/mL) agitate to help , and then use it

Just my suggestion

Here is the safety data sheet for Hospira @ 1.1% (the only thing that is different from 0.9%)
Storage details will be the same

Per Hospira web site, store in dark room temp. Use good sterile practices before each use. Good for 28 days but lots of people go much longer than that,,,YMMV

What are you reconstituting? I recon an entire kit of tirzepitide and freeze it. That may not work with other peptides, but it's no problem with tirz.

You should read the documentation included with hospira bac water before making suggestions.

 

[HereKittyKitty]

Read the label. It states NOT TO REFRIGERATE. Keep it in the dark in a climate-controlled space. I keep mine in a case where I pin. I store my bac inventory in the linen closet (not in the bathroom).

There was a degredation study of Hospira bac water. It showed stability to 90 days and then it bottomed out. I use my Hospira for 90 days.

While I agree with your sentiment, I personally refrigerate my Hospira BAC in spite of what the package insert says.

There is no dire warning to not refrigerate, just a recommendation to store at controlled room temperature.

It isn't in Pfizers best interests to make this last as long as possible. It's in their best interest to minimize their legal risk as much as possible.

We all need to do what we are comfortable with.

There are currently something like 5 active threads on BAC water, and it just amazes me. It's arguably one of the cheaper elements of the whole process.

Anyone wanna fight me on the cheapest alcohol prep pads next? I get Curad's for $.01/ea

You are not talking about Hospira bac water. It isn't available outside of hospital use in smaller than 30ml. Vendor bac (😬😳) comes in 3ml (& 10ml).

What part of “do not refrigerate” is ambiguous?

 

[deluge]

What part of “do not refrigerate” is ambiguous?

I love that it says on your Safety Data Sheet "Store as directed on product packaging." And then nowhere on the product packaging (what I linked), does it say "Do Not Refrigerate."

Contradictions abound.

Your screenshot seems to come from Canadian Pfizer. Perhaps they feel it's cold enough already up there?

Now about those Prep Pads....

Was just about to ask. I have 3ml bac to reconstitute R10 bottles. I just need 1ml of the 3ml bac water. So, I guess I just toss as my dosage is low and the R10 will last me 6-7 weeks. And, I bought a kit of each . In the end, I will have un opened bac bottles, no big deal.

Is this logical ? Make sense? Still new !!

 

[BNLFL]

@gimmeshelter No, don't toss it. Put it in a dark spot at room temp. Have you read some just use it for 3 months, or till it's gone?

As someone who deals with SDS, it probably originally had it on the original packaging, but then it was changed.

No one then told the author of the SDS to change it too.

ok ya can do that. I will run out of Reta well before the bac water though. 3 R10's will last me many months if my dosage plan is correct.

How much are you pinning a week?

1mg

 

[Recevo]

Fridge always after opening for me, just got my order of BioWater today

 

[marraqy]

After I crack a vial I just keep my bac water in the fridge.
For me it’s about minimizing temp swings and contamination over a few weeks, since the peptides cost way more than the water.

So when people reconstitute things like tirz and then freeze or refrigerate it, won't that mean benzyl alcohol will separate at low temps still?

Many have tried & have had no issues w Tirz

That's an excellent point! 👍
When I researched this very issue, I found nothing to explain it...

My research about this started for the following reason:

I make my own BAC water. I have access to sterilized water and benzyl alcohol, a good scale, and it's extremely easy to create my own water.

In the beginning, I made extra water so I could store it. But I noticed that when I took out the 30ml vial where I kept the BAC water, the glass walls were slightly cloudy. At that point, I researched what it could be and then I found that the most likely cause was the benzyl alcohol separating from the water because it had been refrigerated. So I heated the vial to approximately 77ºF and the walls of the vial quickly became clear. Since then, I have only made the amount of BAC water needed at the moment and decided not to store it. In other words, I had solved this problem.

But then I thought about the exact same question you asked, since we normally store our reconstituted peptides in the refrigerator... but I didn't find anything...

Logically, the same phenomenon will happen... but the truth is that I've never had problems with contamination of reconstituted peptides (even after several months of use). On the other hand, I always filter with 0.20µm PES filters.

Your question makes perfect sense, but I can't give you an answer.
