Why This Grade Matters
Not all isopropyl alcohol is created equal. Standard grades may contain traces of water, aldehydes, or other contaminants that absorb UV light, leading to inaccurate readings. Uvasol® 2-Propanol undergoes rigorous purification processes to eliminate these impurities, providing a solvent with:
- Low UV absorbance for clear spectral baselines
- Consistent batch-to-batch performance
- Compatibility with sensitive instruments like spectrophotometers
This makes it ideal for applications such as DNA/RNA extraction, protein assays, and environmental testing where even minor impurities can compromise results.
Applications in the Lab
Beyond spectroscopy, this versatile solvent finds use in:
- HPLC mobile phases
- Sample preparation for mass spectrometry
- Cleaning optical surfaces without residue
- As a reaction medium in organic synthesis
Its low water content also makes it suitable for anhydrous reactions, further expanding its utility in research and academic settings.
Safety and Handling
While 2-Propanol is generally safer than methanol or ethanol, proper handling is essential. Always use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood. Wear appropriate PPE, including gloves and goggles, to avoid skin or eye contact. Store in a cool, dry place away from ignition sources, as it is highly flammable.
Risk Note: This product is flammable and may cause irritation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. In case of contact, rinse immediately with water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.

FAQs
What is the difference between Uvasol® and regular 2-Propanol?
Uvasol® 2-Propanol undergoes additional purification to remove UV-absorbing impurities, making it ideal for spectroscopy. Regular grades may contain contaminants that interfere with accurate readings.
Can this be used for DNA extraction?
Yes, its high purity makes it suitable for molecular biology applications, including DNA/RNA precipitation and purification protocols.
Is this product suitable for HPLC?
Absolutely. Its low UV cutoff and minimal impurities make it an excellent choice for HPLC mobile phases, especially in UV detection methods.
How should I store this solvent?
Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Keep the bottle capped when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
What is the shelf life of Uvasol® 2-Propanol?
When stored properly, it remains stable for at least 2 years. Always check the expiration date on the label for batch-specific information.
