Hospira Bacteriostatic Water is a high-quality, sterile, non-pyrogenic preparation designed for the dilution or dissolving of drugs intended for parenteral administration. This solution is specifically formulated for intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous injection once a compatible medication has been added.
As a multi-dose vial, it provides researchers and medical professionals with a reliable aqueous vehicle that maintains its integrity over multiple entries, thanks to the addition of a specialized preservative.
Chemical Composition and Specifications
Understanding the precise chemistry of your diluent is critical for laboratory and clinical success. This product is chemically designated as H2O. To ensure the solution remains free from bacterial contamination after the vial has been opened, it contains 0.9% (9mg/mL) of benzyl alcohol.
- Unit Size: 30mL (1 vial)
- pH Level: 5.7 (within the range of 4.5 to 7.0)
- Preservative: Benzyl Alcohol 0.9%
- Classification: Sterile, Non-pyrogenic
The Role of Benzyl Alcohol
Unlike standard sterile water, which must be discarded after a single use, the bacteriostatic agent (benzyl alcohol) in this Hospira preparation inhibits the growth of most potentially contaminating bacteria. This makes it an ideal choice for medications that require multiple withdrawals from the same container.
The safety and stability of the solution are guaranteed by the container’s construction. The semi-rigid vial is fabricated from a specially formulated polyolefin. This material is a high-grade copolymer of ethylene and propylene, engineered to be chemically inert and durable.
The safety of this plastic has been rigorously confirmed according to USP biological standards for plastic containers. One of the primary advantages of this polyolefin vial is that it requires no additional vapor barrier to maintain its labeled volume, ensuring the concentration of your solution remains consistent throughout its shelf life
Storage and Shipping Recommendations
To maintain the efficacy of the Hospira Bacteriostatic Water, please adhere to the following storage guidelines:
Temperature: Store the vials at controlled room temperature as per the manufacturer’s instructions.
Shipping: This product is shipped without temperature-controlled packaging. Because extreme heat or cold during transit can affect the integrity of the solution, we strongly recommend selecting Next Day Air delivery during checkout. This minimizes transit time and protects your investment from environmental fluctuations.
Disclaimer: This product is intended for Research Purposes Only. Please ensure compatibility with the specific drug or compound intended for dilution prior to use.
Terms of Sale: By purchasing from Adiuvo Research Labs, you confirm that you are a qualified institutional researcher or laboratory buyer. You assume full responsibility for the safe handling of materials and compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations. All sales are final.
