Bacteriostatic Water 30mL in the literature
The Hospira 30 mL multiple-dose vial is the format of bacteriostatic water most laboratories keep on the shelf. It holds sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, a preservative that inhibits microbial growth inside the vial after the septum has first been punctured. That is the property that lets one vial serve a series of laboratory draws over time instead of a single use. TrueBond Labs stocks it as a companion supply alongside its research compound catalog, for laboratory use only.
Volume pricing rewards stocking up: 3% off at 3+ vials, 5% at 5+, and 40% at 10+ ($15.59 a vial at the top tier), applied to the line automatically at checkout. The quantity ladder, not the vial size, is where the saving comes from. Orders over $200 also qualify for free UPS 3-Day Select within the United States.
Each vial is genuine Hospira product, supplied factory-sealed exactly as it leaves the manufacturer. TrueBond Labs does not open, repackage, or relabel it, and the Hospira label, lot number, and expiry on the vial are the manufacturer's own. No cold chain is involved: the sealed vial sits at room temperature until it is opened at the point of use, with sterile technique preserving it from there.

Bacteriostatic Water 30mL: frequently asked questions
What is bacteriostatic water?
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water to which 0.9% benzyl alcohol has been added as a preservative. The preservative suppresses microbial growth inside the vial once it has been opened, which is what distinguishes it from plain preservative-free sterile water. TrueBond Labs supplies this 30 mL Hospira vial strictly for laboratory research settings, with no usage instructions provided.
What makes it a multiple-dose vial?
The preservative and the septum. Benzyl alcohol at 0.9% suppresses microbial proliferation inside the vial after the rubber septum is first punctured, so the same 30 mL vial tolerates repeated laboratory draws across a project. Preservative-free sterile water is not formulated for that and is generally treated as single-use once opened.
Is there volume pricing on the 30 mL vial?
Yes, and it runs on quantity thresholds rather than fixed packs: 3% off at 3+ vials, 5% at 5+, and 40% at 10+. A line is charged at the deepest tier its quantity reaches, so seven vials earn the 5+ rate and ten vials drop to $15.59 each. Orders over $200 also ship free by UPS 3-Day Select within the United States.
Is the water tested, and does it come with a COA?
No, and it does not need to be: this is genuine Hospira bacteriostatic water, a manufactured pharmaceutical-grade product that ships factory-sealed. TrueBond Labs publishes third-party certificates of analysis for the compounds it has synthesized and tested; the water is not a TrueBond-made product, so the manufacturer's own label, lot number, and expiry date on each vial are its documentation.
