Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hospira Bacteriostatic Water?
Hospira Bacteriostatic Water is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative. The preservative is what makes it bacteriostatic, meaning the vial can be accessed multiple times without the solution being compromised. It is a standard solution used for reconstitution and dilution in research and laboratory settings.
What does 0.9% benzyl alcohol do?
Benzyl alcohol is a bacteriostatic preservative. It prevents bacterial growth inside the vial after opening, which is why a multi-dose bacteriostatic water vial can be used for up to 28 days while standard sterile water cannot.
How long can I use a vial after opening?
Up to 28 days from the first puncture, stored correctly. After 28 days the vial should be discarded.
Is this the same as sterile water for injection?
No. Sterile water for injection contains no preservative and is intended for single use only. Bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which allows repeated withdrawals from the same vial.
Who buys Hospira Bac Water?
Healthcare professionals, compounding pharmacists, laboratory researchers, and individuals sourcing bacteriostatic water for reconstitution and preparation use.
Do you ship across Australia?
Yes. All orders are dispatched from Australia with tracked shipping.
Is Hospira Bacteriostatic Water the same as Pfizer Bacteriostatic Water?
