It comes in a 10 ml Type I borosilicate vial, sealed with a butyl stopper and a blue aluminium flip-off cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the benzyl alcohol does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSterile water has no preservative, so once a vial is opened it is meant for one use. The 0.9% benzyl alcohol in bac water stops bacteria growing in the vial, so it can be used for multiple withdrawals for 28 days after the stopper is first pierced. That is why it is the usual diluent for reconstituting lyophilised laboratory reagents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStorage and shelf life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep vials sealed, between 2 and 25 °C and away from light.
