Bacteriostatic Water – 3 mL

Bacteriostatic Water – 3 mL is sterile water containing a bacteriostatic preservative, supplied in a compact 3 mL vial for laboratory and research applications where preserved sterile water is required by an established protocol.

Unlike plain sterile water, bacteriostatic water contains a preservative intended to inhibit the growth of potentially contaminating bacteria after initial entry into an appropriate multi-dose container. The exact formulation and preservative concentration should always be confirmed from the individual product label and manufacturer documentation.

This 3 mL presentation offers a convenient small-volume format for laboratories and research facilities that do not require a larger vial.
