Bacteriostatic Water in brief
Bacteriostatic Water comes in 2 strengths from 3ml to 10ml per vial, each a sealed box of ten, from $5.19 to $10.00 a box. Per mL the spread is wide: BAC10 (10ml x 10 vials) works out at $0.100 per mL against $0.173 per mL for BAC3 (3ml x 10 vials), 42 percent less for the same mL, because the vial, the fill and the testing cost about the same whatever the vial holds. Sold 10 boxes at a time: bacteriostatic water ships in its own parcel.
Nothing is on the shelf today: every strength is made to order, about four weeks, in any quantity.
What Bacteriostatic Water is
Bacteriostatic water is water for laboratory use containing 0.9 percent benzyl alcohol as a preservative, supplied in sealed glass vials of 3 mL and 10 mL; how it differs from sterile water, which carries no preservative, is set out in bacteriostatic water: what it is and how it is kept.
Its certificate reports appearance, identity against the article specification and the fill; pH, conductivity or total organic carbon, sterility and endotoxin are not certificate lines here, and the desk answers for a particular batch. It is stored at room temperature and does not go in the freezer. Benzyl alcohol is not compatible with every method, so a laboratory that needs preservative-free water should use sterile water instead.
Reading a Bacteriostatic Water certificate of analysis (COA)
- Read the identity line, which is against the article specification, and the fill; ask the desk whether a batch was tested for sterility.
Worked out from what the sheet holds for this line; the batch certificate is the record. How to read one, and verify a batch number.

Questions about Bacteriostatic Water
Is Bac water the same as Bacteriostatic Water?
Yes. Bac water, BAC water and Bacteriostatic Water are names for the same thing. It is the ordinary short form of the name, not a different product. The certificate and the vial label carry Bacteriostatic Water, which is the name the batch is released under.
How much does Bacteriostatic Water cost?
From $5.19 a sealed box of 10 vials, up to $10.00 for the largest strength sold singly, which works out at $0.100 per mL at its best-priced size. To a US address, freight is included from $1,000 of goods; below that it is the carrier’s rate for the carton or a flat $35.00, and to another country the desk quotes it; either way the figure is on the proforma before you pay. Every strength and its price per vial is in this page’s price table.
Which Bacteriostatic Water size is cheapest per mL?
BAC10, 10ml x 10 vials, at $0.100 per mL, which is 42 percent less per mL than BAC3, at $0.173 per mL. Larger vials cost less per mL across this range, so match the vial to the size of the work first, then compare per mL.
Can I buy a single vial of Bacteriostatic Water?
No, and not a single box either. Sold 10 boxes at a time: bacteriostatic water ships in its own parcel. The smallest order of Bacteriostatic Water is 10 boxes of BAC3, 3ml x 10 vials, $51.90 of goods; a first order must reach $100 of goods, so BAC3 alone takes 20 boxes, or 10 beside other lines. A box is sealed at fill with its batch number on it, and splitting one would break the link between the vials and their certificate.
Which Bacteriostatic Water strengths are in stock today?
None today. Every strength is made to order, about four weeks, and can be ordered in any quantity.
How is Bacteriostatic Water stored?
At 15 to 25 degrees Celsius, dark. It is a supply item and keeps at room temperature. Storage and handling.
What is in a box of Bacteriostatic Water?
Ten sealed vials of one strength, each labelled with the product code, the strength and the batch number; the trade also calls a box a 10-vial kit. Bacteriostatic Water is supplied in a sealed glass vial and in no other presentation. Boxes are not split.
Is a certificate of analysis (COA) provided for Bacteriostatic Water?
Yes. For Bacteriostatic Water the batch certificate reports its appearance, its identity against the article specification and its fill, with no purity line. The other lines on this page are the specification it is made to, and the desk answers for them on a particular batch. The certificate is sent with the shipment, and again on request, and any batch number can be verified on the certificate page.
Is this for human use?
No. Everything here is supplied for laboratory research only, to trade accounts, and is not for human or animal consumption. The research-use page sets out who can buy and what is not sold.
