Bacteriostatic Water 10ml

Bacteriostatic Water 10ml FAQ

What is bacteriostatic water?

Sterile water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which inhibits bacterial growth after a vial is punctured so it can be accessed more than once.

Bacteriostatic or sterile water: which do I need?

Bacteriostatic water suits multi-draw vials where benzyl alcohol is compatible with your protocol. Preservative-free sterile water suits single use or protocols that exclude benzyl alcohol.

How does the Certificate of Analysis work?

A Certificate of Analysis is run monthly and covers each production batch made that month. It is not issued per shipment. For COA questions, call 936-379-5515 or email info@renewlabgroup.com.

What packs are available in 10 mL?

Bacteriostatic Water 10 mL comes in packs of 1, 2, 5 and 10 sealed vials. Every size uses the same 0.9% benzyl alcohol formula, and larger packs lower the price per vial. Compare all sizes in Bacteriostatic Water.

Is deionized water the same as bacteriostatic water?

No. Deionized water only has dissolved minerals removed; it is not sterile and has no preservative. Bacteriostatic water is sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, made in our cleanroom, tested for sterility and endotoxin, and covered by a monthly Certificate of Analysis for each production batch. They are not interchangeable.

How should bacteriostatic water be stored?

Store unopened vials at controlled room temperature, away from direct light. After a vial is punctured, date it and follow your institution’s protocol for storage and discard. Do not use a vial if the liquid is cloudy or discolored or the seal is broken.
