Reconstitution bac water question

[Rob]

I opened a 10 ml vial 5 weeks ago and used it once.
It's been in the fridge all along....
Can I use it again?
Trying to understand the shelf life of Bac water once opened and used?
Storage in fridge or room temperature ?

What brand is it? I keep bac in and cool dark place per Hospira guidelines and discard after 30 days

[Rob]

I got it from Amazon 2 months ago.
It says reconstitution solution ultra pure
0.9% Benzyl alcohol
Not seeing any brand name written on it
I guess you're saying you discard it after 30 days
Once you use it ?

Not sure if you have seen the test results. Peptide crafters tested 11 bac waters from Amazon, only 2 passed. Lamba and Biovitalis. I definitely would not use that bac water after it's been opened that long, fridge or not just my 2 cents. Peps aren't cheap, would hate to see you ruin a good pep with bad bac water or get sick from it.

Edit: with no brand name on it, honestly, I wouldn't use it at all. Your health is too important. Amazon pulled all bac water at least their US site, seems like it was shortly after the testing announcement. It could be someone selling a recipe they made at home and labeled it as bac water. Can never be too careful

I appreciate your feedback and I agree with what you're saying ....
Our health is key here ...
I'll check out the video as well
Thank you

You have to trust your BAC water. If you feel unwell, or some strange symptoms, how would you know is it from the researched compound or from BAC water? You want to exclude as many variables as possible from your research. I even have a 1600x microscope and look at the reconstituted solutions to make sure there is nothing suspicious there.

You are better off using USP grade branded sterile water (Hospira for example) than random Amazon BAC.

I saw a video on YouTube with someone preparing BAC with bottled water. If such people are selling it on Amazon, then how would you know?

Bac water is used because a bottle is used and pierced multiple times before it is emptied is what I understand. Alcohol is used for that reason. High chance of the bottle getting contaminated. Should sterile water be ok if only used once to reconstitute?

@quicksilver80
100% correct

[pep_researcher]

@tony49_49 In the decreasing order of ranking:

• H Brand BAC
• Vetted trusted vendor BAC that comes with a COA that clearly shows benzyl alcohol % and pH value BOTH.
• H brand sterile water (yes this is okay as long as you use strict asceptic handling. Peter of Janoshik said so too).

If none of the above available, hold off your research until at least one of them is available!
