We did not find a licensed 10 mL bacteriostatic water vial on DailyMed. The 10 mL vials above are research supply products.

10 mL or 30 mL?

  • Price: 30 mL vials were cheaper per mL as single vials. Packs of 10 mL vials narrow the gap.
  • The 28-day window: once opened, a vial is commonly discarded within 28 days. A smaller vial wastes less if the lab uses only a little (see storage).
  • Lot reports: the most complete report we found was on a 10 mL product.

PSPeptides: 10 mL only, in five pack sizes
