The product
What is bacteriostatic water (bac water)?
Sterile water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, supplied as a diluent and reconstitution solvent for laboratory research and analytical applications.
“Bac water” is the common short name for the same product. Our core catalog item is one formulation in one size: a 30 mL vial with a rubber stopper built for repeated access. It is filled in controlled, numbered lots and tested by an independent laboratory before release, so the vial you reorder in six months is the vial you have today.
Our standards
Three things we hold to on every lot — and the document that proves each one.
- 01
Independent batch testing
Sterility, endotoxins, pH, and benzyl alcohol level are verified by an independent laboratory before any lot is released.
- 02
Published transparency
The current lot's full Certificate of Analysis is published before it ships — check your vial's lot code against it any time.
- 03
Sealed, lot-coded vials
One formulation, filled by the manufacturer in controlled, numbered lots and sealed before shipping, so every vial matches the last.
Wholesale Orders
Streamlined bulk fulfillment
Volume pricing and consistent supply for laboratories and organizations ordering 300+ vials or recurring shipments.
Our standard
Precision matters in research
One formulation, filled by the manufacturer in controlled, numbered lots and tested by an independent laboratory before release — so the vial you receive matches the one before it, and the results are published where you can read them.

How ordering works
Three steps from pack to bench.
Step 1: Select your pack
Pick a pack of 1 to 200 vials. Each step up drops the per-vial cost.
Step 2: Secure checkout
Complete a standard secure checkout. US orders only; shipping is calculated at checkout.
Step 3: Ships tracked

Ordering with confidence
What your lab can count on
Four things we commit to on every order — each one written down elsewhere on this site, so you can hold us to it.
Tracked from dispatch to delivery
Every order ships within the US by UPS or USPS, in plain, protective packaging. Tracking is emailed the moment it goes.
Documentation before you purchase
The certificate for the lot currently shipping is published in full on this site — results on the page, not behind a request form. Check it before you order, not after.
Lot-to-lot consistency on reorders
One formulation from one manufacturer, filled in controlled, numbered lots. Reordering gets you what you had last time, and the lot code on the label proves which run it came from.
Secure checkout, and a written resolution path
Payment runs through our Shopify-hosted checkout. If a shipment is documented as damaged, lost, or wrong, it is resolved with a replacement or a credit — no return to arrange.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The short version of what laboratory buyers ask most — product, COA lookup, and shipping.
What is bacteriostatic water?
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water with benzyl alcohol added as a preservative, which suppresses bacterial growth so the vial can be accessed more than once. It is used as a diluent and reconstitution solvent in laboratory research and analytical applications. Our guide to what bacteriostatic water is covers the name, the preservative and how to check a vial.
Is bac water the same as bacteriostatic water?
Yes. Bac water is the common short name for bacteriostatic water: sterile water preserved with 0.9% benzyl alcohol. Our 30 mL vial is the same product under either name.
What does BacterioWater sell?
BacterioWater is a laboratory research supplier specializing in research-grade bacteriostatic water. Our current catalog is 30 mL sterile bacteriostatic water (0.9% benzyl alcohol), available in packs of 1–200 vials and in wholesale quantities. The vials are filled by a third-party manufacturer in controlled lots and batch-tested by an independent laboratory; we stock and ship them with each lot's certificate published.
Do you manufacture this product?
No. BacterioWater is an independent laboratory supplier, not the manufacturer. The product is manufactured and filled by a third-party facility and tested by an independent laboratory before release. What we do is stock the finished vials, publish the certificate for the lot in hand, and ship it.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship within the United States by UPS or USPS. Delivery time after dispatch depends on the carrier service shown at checkout; UPS Ground typically takes 1–5 business days across the contiguous US, and longer for Alaska and Hawaii.
How do I look up my COA?
Open the Lab Testing & COA page and compare the lot code printed on your vial label to the certificates published there. If the two match, the results on that page are the results for the vial in your hand. If they don't, contact us at shipping@bacteriowater.com with the code and we'll confirm that lot's status.
Do you ship internationally?
We currently ship only within the United States, and we don't ship to freight forwarders or package-forwarding addresses.
Do you send tracking details?
Yes — a tracking number is emailed to you at dispatch, and it covers the shipment from our facility to your address. The carrier (UPS or USPS) scans the parcel in transit, so the link stays current without you having to ask us for an update.
How should bac water be stored?
Follow the conditions printed on the label: controlled room temperature, 20 °C to 25 °C, out of strong light, and never frozen. Keep the stopper clean between accesses. Set aside any vial that is cracked, leaking, cloudy, discolored, or past the expiry date on its label rather than using it. Shelf life, refrigeration and expiry are covered in our storage guide.
