Product Overview

2-Propanol AnalaR NORMAPUR® ACS reagent is a high-purity isopropyl alcohol designed for demanding laboratory applications where precision and consistency are critical. This reagent-grade solvent meets both ACS (American Chemical Society) specifications and European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) standards, ensuring exceptional purity and reliability for analytical procedures. The AnalaR NORMAPUR® designation guarantees low levels of impurities, including water, aldehydes, and non-volatile residues, making it ideal for sensitive applications such as HPLC, spectrophotometry, and DNA/RNA extraction protocols. Its 99.5%+ purity level minimizes interference in reactions while providing consistent evaporation rates for reproducible results. The solvent’s hygroscopic nature requires proper storage to maintain its integrity, and its compatibility with most organic compounds makes it a versatile choice for sample preparation, equipment cleaning, and as a reaction medium. Packaged in high-density polyethylene containers to prevent contamination, this 2-propanol variant offers excellent value for laboratories requiring bulk quantities without compromising on quality standards.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between AnalaR NORMAPUR® and regular isopropyl alcohol?

The AnalaR NORMAPUR® designation indicates a higher purity level specifically tested for analytical applications, with stricter controls on impurities like water content, aldehydes, and non-volatile residues compared to standard isopropyl alcohol.

2. Can this 2-propanol be used for DNA/RNA extraction?

Yes, its high purity and low nuclease content make it suitable for nucleic acid precipitation and extraction protocols where contamination could affect downstream applications.

3. What materials are incompatible with this solvent?

Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, alkali metals, and some plastics like polystyrene which may dissolve or become brittle upon prolonged exposure.

4. How should this be stored to maintain its purity?

Store in a tightly sealed original container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture sources to prevent absorption of atmospheric water.

5. Does this meet USP grade requirements?

While it meets Ph. Eur. standards, it’s specifically certified as ACS reagent grade rather than USP grade, though the purity levels are comparable for most laboratory applications.
