Hospira Bacteriostatic Water 30 ml — Multi-Dose Vial
Hospira bacteriostatic water is sterile water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, supplied in a 30 ml multi-dose vial. The preservative is what separates it from plain sterile water: it suppresses bacterial growth inside the vial, so the contents remain usable across repeated draws rather than for a single use. Hospira is a Pfizer company, and this vial — with its purple flip-cap — is the reference product in the category. Held in UK stock and dispatched within 24 hours. Sold strictly for laboratory research use.

Bacteriostatic water vs sterile water
Plain sterile water contains no preservative — once a vial is opened it is single-use, because nothing prevents bacterial growth afterwards. Bacteriostatic water's 0.9% benzyl alcohol keeps the vial usable for multiple draws over its in-use life. For laboratory reconstitution work where a vial is returned to repeatedly, that difference is the reason this product exists.
