Bacteriostatic Water – 10 mL

Bacteriostatic Water – 10 mL is sterile water containing a bacteriostatic preservative, supplied in a larger 10 mL vial for laboratory and research applications where preserved sterile water is specified by an established protocol.

Unlike plain sterile water, bacteriostatic water contains a preservative intended to inhibit the growth of potentially contaminating bacteria under the conditions specified by the manufacturer.

The exact preservative, concentration, container specifications, storage requirements, and intended applications should always be verified from the individual product label and manufacturer documentation.

The 10 mL presentation provides a larger-volume alternative to the 3 mL format and can be convenient for laboratories requiring additional material for multiple research workflows.

Bacteriostatic Water vs. Sterile Water

Bacteriostatic water and sterile water are different products and should not automatically be considered interchangeable.

Bacteriostatic water contains a preservative intended to inhibit bacterial growth within the conditions specified by its labeling.

Sterile water generally does not contain a bacteriostatic preservative.

The appropriate product depends on the specific laboratory application, compatibility requirements, and applicable protocol.

Researchers should always verify the formulation before use rather than selecting a product based solely on vial size or product name.

Larger 10 mL Format

The 10 mL vial provides more material per container than the corresponding 3 mL presentation.

This larger format may offer convenient inventory management for laboratory environments requiring greater quantities of bacteriostatic water.

Compared with the 3 mL presentation:

• 3 mL: Compact, lower-volume format
• 10 mL: Larger-volume format
• Difference: 7 mL additional volume per vial
• 10 mL format: More than three times the nominal volume of a 3 mL vial

Selection between the two formats should be based on laboratory requirements and the applicable product instructions.

Available Multi-Vial Options

Bacteriostatic Water – 10 mL is available in several package quantities:

• 1 Vial – Regular Price
• 3 Vials – 5% OFF
• 5 Vials – 10% OFF ★ Most Popular ★
• 10 Vials – 15% OFF
• 20 Vials – 20% OFF

Each vial contains 10 mL of Bacteriostatic Water.

Multi-vial packages provide a lower effective price per vial and may be convenient for laboratories maintaining inventory for multiple research workflows.

Quality and Product Verification

Before using any vial, laboratory personnel should review the applicable packaging and manufacturer information.

Important details to verify may include:

• Product name
• Nominal volume
• Preservative and concentration
• Manufacturer information
• Lot or batch number
• Expiration information
