Product Overview
Propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol) DRYSOLV is a high-purity, anhydrous solvent designed for critical laboratory applications. With a minimum purity of 99.9%, this analytical reagent-grade alcohol ensures low residue and rapid evaporation, making it ideal for precision cleaning of glassware, electronic components, and sensitive equipment. Its low water content (<0.1%) prevents interference in reactions, while the absence of denaturants guarantees compatibility with biological samples. The solvent’s polar nature enables efficient extraction of nucleic acids, proteins, and organic compounds, while its volatility minimizes drying times. Packaged in leak-proof HDPE containers, it resists contamination and UV degradation. The DRYSOLV certification confirms adherence to strict quality standards, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency for reproducible results. Its broad solubility range (miscible with water, ethanol, and chloroform) further enhances versatility in formulation work. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources to maintain stability.
FAQs
1. What is the water content in DRYSOLV-grade isopropyl alcohol?
This product contains less than 0.1% water, meeting analytical reagent specifications for anhydrous applications.
2. Can this be used for DNA precipitation?
Yes, the high purity and low ionic content make it suitable for nucleic acid precipitation protocols.
3. Is this alcohol compatible with plastic labware?
It is safe for most lab plastics like PP and HDPE but may degrade polystyrene over prolonged exposure.
4. What’s the shelf life after opening?
Unopened, it remains stable for 24 months; after opening, use within 6 months if stored properly.
5. How does this differ from regular isopropyl alcohol?
DRYSOLV grade lacks denaturants and has stricter purity controls compared to commercial or pharmaceutical grades.
