Quick questions
How do bacteriostatic and sterile water differ as lab diluents?
The distinction comes down to one ingredient. Bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, a preservative that inhibits microbial growth, so a vial may be entered repeatedly and is labeled for multiple use. Sterile water contains no preservative and is intended for a single entry; any remainder is discarded.
This is provided as reference information only. We don't advise on which diluent a given protocol should use.
Can people or pets use these products?
No. Everything is sold for laboratory research only, not for human or veterinary use, not FDA-approved, and not for diagnosing, treating, curing or preventing anything. Full details are on the research-use page.
Can labs outside the US order from you?
They can. Delivery outside the US is a flat $40 per order, and US orders always ship free. Orders usually ship within 24 hours, and every package comes with tracking. Your country’s import and customs rules, and any duties, are your responsibility. More: Worldwide delivery.
