Plain sterile water with no preservative. Meant for single-use: mix it, use it, discard the rest.

Single-use
No preservative
What it’s for
For anyone avoiding benzyl alcohol, or mixing a vial they will use all at once.
What to check in the listing
Single-use means single-use, so buy the smallest vials you'll actually finish rather than one big bottle. Check it says “for injection” — irrigation and lab grades are different products under similar names.
At a glance
TypeMixing liquid
LiquidSterile waterLiquid is what the bottle holds. Bacteriostatic water has a preservative and keeps 28 days once opened; sterile water and saline have none and are single-use. Glossary
PreservativeNoPreservative says whether it carries one: 0.9% benzyl alcohol stops bacteria multiplying in an opened bottle, and it is what makes a multi-dose bottle possible. Glossary
Volume10 mL
Single-useYes
Once opened0 daysOnce opened is how long the bottle is considered good after the first needle goes through the stopper.

PriceBudgetPrice tier is the rough position within its category, not a live price: budget is the cheapest sensible option, premium costs more for a reason the page explains.
TravelCarry-on friendlyTravel says whether it is practical to fly with: carry-on means it goes through security without fuss.
SterileYesSterile means individually sealed and sterile until opened; anything that touches the inside of a vial or your skin should be.
