Bacteriostatic Water Prices — August 2026 Survey
20 publicly listed US offers for bacteriostatic water, surveyed August 10–14, 2026 from Google Shopping listings and seller storefronts, normalized to price per mL. Single 30 mL vials cluster at $18–$39 ($0.50–$1.30/mL); 10 mL vials at $9.99–$19.99 ($1.00–$2.00/mL); bulk packs reach $0.48–$0.75/mL. Prices are snapshots — always confirm at the source.
Survey Takeaways
- The median surveyed 30 mL vial lists at roughly $25 ($0.83/mL); most 10 mL vials list at $10–$20 ($1.00–$2.00/mL).
- The lowest per-mL prices in the survey require case-size commitments (300 mL+) or come from listings with no stated testing documentation.
- Sticker price per mL is not cost per used mL: the 28-day in-use window means oversized vials are routinely discarded part-full, which can add 30–50% to the true cost of large-format vials.

Method: publicly listed offers observed August 10–14, 2026on Google Shopping and linked storefronts. Bundle rows divide bundle price by total volume. Sale prices recorded as listed on the survey date. This table reports price and format only — it makes no claim about any seller's quality, documentation, or authenticity.

The Column Price Tags Don't Show: Per mL Actually Used
Every multi-dose vial above is governed by the same 28-day in-use convention after first puncture. At intermittent research draw rates, large vials routinely reach day 28 partly full — and discarded volume is paid-for volume. A $26.99 Hospira-format 30 mL vial with 10 mL left at day 28 costs about $1.35 per used mL; a fully consumed $9.99 10 mL vial costs $1.00, and bulk 10 mL vials $0.65–$0.75. The full arithmetic lives in the 30 mL vs 10 mL comparison.
Documentation is the other non-price column: per-lot USP <71> sterility and USP <85> endotoxin testing with a published Certificate of Analysis — what a lot-specific COA looks like.
Price FAQ
How much does bacteriostatic water cost in 2026?
Across 20 publicly listed US offers surveyed in August 2026, single-vial prices run $5.00–$38.99 depending on volume and brand, with most 30 mL vials listed between $18 and $39 ($0.50–$1.30 per mL) and 10 mL vials between $9.99 and $19.99 ($1.00–$2.00 per mL). Bulk packs bring per-mL cost down to roughly $0.48–$0.75.
Why does price per mL understate the real cost of large vials?
Multi-dose bacteriostatic water follows a 28-day in-use convention after first puncture regardless of vial size. A 30 mL vial drawn at typical research rates (1–2 mL per session) often reaches day 28 with a third or more unused. Discarding 10 of 30 mL raises a $27 vial's effective cost from $0.90 to about $1.35 per mL actually used.
Is the cheapest listing the best value?
Only if the documentation holds up. A low price with no per-lot Certificate of Analysis, no named manufacturing facility, and no USP <71>/<85> test results is a different product class than a documented one at a similar price. Price is one column; the survey deliberately does not score quality — verify documentation directly with any seller.
How was this survey collected?
All prices are publicly listed offers observed on Google Shopping and seller storefronts during August 10–14, 2026. Listings change frequently — treat each figure as a snapshot, not a live quote, and confirm current pricing at the source. The survey is refreshed monthly.
