Hospira BAC water availability

They aren't autoinjectors. You have complete manual control. You twist the dial to the dosage you want, insert the needle in to your skin, and then push the plunger until it stops.

You must conclude for yourself @MrsMUffin, my own observation is that Noah from Peptide Shop is mistaken on the facts, an opportunist, and likely an ---hole.

There is good reason to expect that an unopened, unfrozen vial of Bacteriostatic Water for Injection USP kept at room temperature in a dark place will last far longer than one year.
Further...
  • "While it is essential to follow proper storage guidelines and use unexpired solutions whenever possible, using bacteriostatic water past its expiration date is generally safe. The expiration date primarily indicates when the manufacturer guarantees the solution’s stability and potency, but it does not mean the solution becomes immediately harmful once it expires."
    - from Bacteriostatic Water Australia, a leading supplier of BWater.

Benzl Alcohol, the anti-microbial active ingredient in Bac Water, is a very stable molecule. As a reagent-grade lab chemical it is considered to have a shelf life of 3 (three) years unopened, room temperature, dark place etc. Numerous suppliers of lab chemicals make the 3 years unopened statement, some suggest that a re-test is warranted after two years unopened.

Also commonly stated by chemical suppliers is that "shelf life after being opened is One Year".

Much of the angst online about Bacteriostatic Water stems from the FDA labelling requirement for "multiple patient/multiple use" scenario that this product was produced for. The "28-day after first use" expiration label is intended to minimize cross-patient infection, not a concern about product age.

In our "single patient/multiple use" scenario there IS NO RISK of cross-patient infection. In fact there was no short expiry date on Hospira Bac Water vials intended for single patient use until recently. The change of labelling requirement by the FDA was made because of improper institutional use of the "single-user" product for extended periods in large patient populations; there were in fact infection outbreaks as might be expected.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a medical professional. This is not a medical recommendation rather it is a collection of my own observations.

Here I am. Sooo, I finally decided to order from Peptideshop, mainly because they ship to Europe (the other suppliers mentioned in this thread don't). I received my 10 vials very quickly, but the expiration date is May 2025. Darn you, Noah! 😂
Could the closeness of the expiration date account for the low price?

Hoping this will be helpful to other users: for 10 vials, applying every possible discount, I spent $79.56 (€73.10); plus, having the parcel been shipped to Italy, €32.86 in Fedex fees and VAT.

This is a question for the manufacturer or for industry specialists. As for me, I am quite confident that bacteriostatic water in intact vials, properly stored, will not turn into poison the exact moment the expiration date strikes.
 
I placed an order with AMSCO on Monday. The status still says processing and nothing has been delivered. Anyone else experiencing a delay?

Mine still shows as Processing 2 weeks after it arrived! Most people got it within a week.

I'd tell you to read back through this thread, but see it's now 13 pages, lol Mostly the same thing over and over.

Hopefully they have new stock and exp date is further out. This place must be wondering wtf is going on with hundreds of Bac water orders over the last 2-3 weeks!

Everyone, do please post the exp dates on the Bac water you are receiving from AMSCO!

I tested another strip 1 mL e-bac, maybe ph of 7? So that's the top end of what is acceptable.

I think I'd be more concerned about it being sterile than having the right ph. It has benzyl alcohol in it (a by product of oxidizing benzoic acid), so I'd think it should be lower than neutral ph of 7. I'm no chemist, but seems like it should be slightly acidic, no?
