Sterile Water
Also published as Sterile water for injection, WFI
Water for injection with no preservative and no additives. It is the correct diluent where any preservative would interfere, and it is single entry by definition.
Where it came from
A pharmacopoeial preparation, described in the USP.
Relevant background
- Not applicable
State of the evidence
A diluent, not a study subject.
What a buyer should know
No preservative means no protection after the first entry. Treating a sterile water vial like a bacteriostatic one is the single most common handling mistake downstream of this catalogue.
Handling and stability
Room temperature storage. Single use. Discard the remainder.
