Bacteriostatic water is commonly sold in several container sizes. For laboratory purchasing, the main differences between a 3mL vial and a 30mL vial are container volume, manufacturer, documentation and how much material is available from a single container.
3mL format
A 3mL vial is a compact format that can be useful when a laboratory needs a smaller container size. Axis Direct Labs lists its current 3mL product with 0.9% benzyl alcohol and batch-specific third-party documentation.
30mL format
A 30mL vial contains ten times the nominal volume of a 3mL vial. ADL currently lists both a documented 30mL laboratory-support product and a Hospira-manufactured 30mL option.

What to compare
Before purchasing, compare the exact manufacturer, nominal volume, preservative statement, lot or batch information, available documentation, current stock and price. Product pages should be treated as the current source for those details because inventory and lot information can change.
