Product Overview

2-Propanol GPR RECTAPUR® is a high-purity isopropyl alcohol designed for demanding laboratory applications. With a minimum purity of 99.9%, this analytical-grade solvent ensures reliable and reproducible results in critical processes. Its low water content and minimal impurities make it ideal for use in extraction procedures, equipment cleaning, and organic synthesis. The GPR (General Purpose Reagent) grade meets stringent quality standards, providing consistency across experiments. This solvent is particularly valued for its ability to dissolve a wide range of polar and non-polar compounds, making it versatile for various lab protocols. The 5 L packaging offers convenience for frequent use while maintaining product integrity through secure sealing. As a RECTAPUR® product, it undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency, making it a trusted choice for laboratories requiring precision solvents.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of 2-Propanol GPR RECTAPUR® when stored properly?

When stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, 2-Propanol GPR RECTAPUR® maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the expiration date on the label for precise information.

2. Is this 2-Propanol compatible with HPLC or GC analysis?

While 2-Propanol GPR RECTAPUR® is of high purity, it is not specifically graded for HPLC or GC use. For chromatography applications, consider using HPLC-grade or GC-grade solvents to avoid potential interference from residual impurities that may be present in general-purpose reagents.

3. Can this product be used as a substitute for ethanol in DNA precipitation?

2-Propanol can be used for DNA precipitation, but it typically requires different conditions compared to ethanol. It is generally used at higher concentrations (60-70%) and may yield different results in terms of DNA fragment size recovery. Protocol optimization may be necessary when switching from ethanol to 2-propanol.

4. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this solvent?

2-Propanol is highly flammable and should be handled in a well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety goggles, gloves, and a lab coat. Avoid inhalation of vapors and skin contact, as it can cause irritation. Always follow standard laboratory safety protocols when working with this solvent.

5. How does the purity of this 2-Propanol compare to technical-grade isopropyl alcohol?

This GPR-grade 2-Propanol has a minimum purity of 99.9%, significantly higher than technical-grade isopropyl alcohol which typically contains 90-95% isopropanol with higher levels of water and other impurities. The higher purity makes it more suitable for analytical applications where consistency and minimal interference are critical.
