About Bacteriostatic Water 10ml Vials
Bacteriostatic water 10ml vials are the most flexible format for researchers and labs running multiple shorter protocols. Each vial contains sterile water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, the standard bacteriostatic agent. The smaller 10ml volume means less waste per opening, and you can rotate through vials without exposing a single large bottle to repeated punctures. Five vials per pack gives you working stock plus sealed backups.
- Less waste per puncture. Smaller 10ml volumes mean you can finish a vial inside the 28-day window without discarding unused solution.
- One sealed backup per active vial. Run multiple short protocols without sharing the same vial.
- Better value than buying individually. Five sealed vials at pack pricing.
- Smaller opening footprint. Less repeated exposure per vial reduces contamination risk over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is bacteriostatic water 10ml used for?
It is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. The 10ml size is widely used for reconstitution and dilution in research and laboratory settings, particularly where smaller working volumes are preferred.
How is bacteriostatic water different from sterile water for injection?
Sterile water for injection contains no preservative and is single-use only. Bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which allows multiple sterile withdrawals from the same vial for up to 28 days.
Why choose 10ml vials over a single larger vial?
Smaller vials reduce waste if a vial is compromised, let you run multiple short protocols in parallel, and limit how many times any single vial is punctured. For some workflows, five 10ml vials is more practical than one 50ml bottle.
How long can each vial be used after opening?
Up to 28 days from first puncture, stored at room temperature and away from light. After 28 days, discard the vial.
Can I freeze bacteriostatic water?
No. Freezing disrupts the benzyl alcohol distribution and can compromise the solution. Store at room temperature only.
Who buys bacteriostatic water 10ml vials?
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.
