What is bac water used for?

Quick answer

In peptide research, bac water is used to reconstitute lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides — dissolving the dry powder into a liquid of known concentration so it can be measured. Its 0.9% benzyl alcohol preservative allows the vial to be entered repeatedly over about 28 days without bacterial growth.
