Product Overview
Isopropanol, 99.7% pure and ACS-grade, is a versatile solvent known for its fast evaporation and low residue. Its high purity ensures minimal contamination in laboratory applications, including DNA extraction, solvent cleaning, and disinfection. With a boiling point of 82°C, it strikes a balance between rapid drying and controlled evaporation, making it suitable for both routine cleaning and sensitive procedures. The product is miscible with water and most organic solvents, enhancing its utility in extractions and chromatographic applications. Packaged in HDPE containers to minimize solvent loss, this isopropanol variant maintains stability during storage. Its broad compatibility with plastics and metals makes it a staple in research and industrial labs. The absence of denaturants ensures it is safe for use in biological applications, avoiding interference with enzymatic reactions. Whether used for sterilizing surfaces, precipitating nucleic acids, or as a reaction medium, this ACS-grade isopropanol delivers consistent performance. Its mild odor and low toxicity (compared to methanol) further enhance its suitability for lab environments.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between isopropanol and ethanol for cleaning?
Isopropanol evaporates faster and leaves less residue, making it preferred for electronics and optical cleaning.
2. Can this isopropanol be used for DNA precipitation?
Yes, it is commonly used as an alternative to ethanol for nucleic acid precipitation.
3. Is this isopropanol compatible with plastic labware?
It is compatible with most lab plastics, including PP and HDPE, but may affect polystyrene.
4. How should this isopropanol be stored to maintain purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from ignition sources and moisture.
5. Does this isopropanol contain any additives?
No, this is a pure, additive-free ACS-grade isopropanol.
