Bacteriostatic Water

[jasc]

Got myself in a pinch and need to pick up some bacteriostatic water asap. I've always purchased this online, however I do not want to wait 4-5 days for the post to deliver it. Not looking for specific locations, just a general idea of what types of places would sell this.
I've already called a few local pharmacies, some diet clinics, and a couple med supply places in the area and noone carries it.
Does bac water have any other uses?
Any random uses? or other types of places that may carry it?

What country do you live in? If you can't get it in a local pharmacy why don't you just express order, or rush order it off a site? Should get it the next day

If I can't find it by the time I get outta work I prob will just order it. Didn't realize it was soo hard to come by. I figured any pharmacy should have it.
Even on a rush order I'm prob lookin at monday arrival and shipping overnight would cost 10x more than the product.

Thanks to Animal and Lewd T for this.

Info confirmed by Animal

Items needed:

.22 sterile filter
1ml sterile BA(ask if there is a minimum)
100ml sterile vial
20ml syringe (the bigger the syringe the more pressure it takes)
two 18g pins one for drawing water and one for injecting in sterile vial.
small pin 27g for letting air pressure out of vial you injecting BA into

There's no need to boil your water or anything like that. Simply buy a sealed gallon of distilled water. Set up your vial to be filtered in to by placing one of the 18g needles in the top with the filter attached, as well as the 27g needle in the top for air exchange. The pins used for injecting into the sterile vial and relieveing air pressure should stay there with the filter until the process is complete. Use the 3rd pin to draw the water with. You will be switching the syringe from the filter to the drawing 5 times or so to get 100ml.

Now put 1ml of BA through the filter, in to the sealed vial. Then draw out 99ml's (20ml's at a time, or whatever size syringe you're working with) and filter it through the filter in to the vial as well.

You have yourself Bacteriostatic Water."
