Antimicrobial / preservative for solutions?

[TheAppleCore]

If I want to store a drug in aqueous solution for liquid measurement purposes, what preservatives other than ethanol can be used to prevent bacterial growth?

Could use tap water, if it's fluorinated?

Here is a guide on making bacteriostatic water with benzyl alcohol.

Here is a doc with pharmaceutical preservative information on preservatives and their necessary concentration, their uses,and in which formulations they are used.
