Depending on what size of product you have it will likely come with "solvent" which is actually 0.9% sterile saline. You should be fine using some from work. If you use it tho make sure you keep the unused portion refigerated or frozen - should keep for about a month. The BA just allows it to be kept longer and usually come with the larger sizes like 10,000iu.
