Product Description
When precision matters in your lab work, the quality of solvents can make all the difference. 2-Propanol HPLC Grade from Merck is a high-purity isopropyl alcohol designed specifically for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and other sensitive analytical techniques. This solvent meets strict purity standards, ensuring minimal interference in your results.
Whether you’re a student setting up your first chromatography experiment or a researcher fine-tuning a critical analysis, this HPLC-grade 2-propanol delivers consistent performance. Its low UV absorbance and controlled impurity levels make it ideal for gradient elution and other advanced chromatographic methods. The 1-liter packaging provides an optimal balance between convenience and cost-effectiveness for regular lab use.
At eqipped, we understand that researchers and educators need reliable supplies without compromise. That’s why we source this product directly from Merck, a name synonymous with quality in laboratory chemicals. Need bulk quantities for your institution?

The versatility of this solvent extends beyond HPLC. Many labs use it for sample preparation, equipment cleaning, and as a general-purpose high-purity solvent. Its consistent batch-to-batch quality means you can trust your results whether you’re working on pharmaceutical analysis, environmental testing, or academic research projects.
Why This Grade Matters
Not all isopropyl alcohol is created equal. The HPLC grade designation means this 2-propanol has undergone additional purification steps to remove impurities that could affect your chromatographic separations. Regular industrial-grade isopropyl alcohol might contain additives or contaminants that can:
- Create ghost peaks in your chromatograms
- Reduce column lifetime
- Interfere with UV detection
- Cause baseline drift in your results
With Merck’s HPLC-grade 2-propanol, you eliminate these concerns. The product comes with a certificate of analysis, giving you confidence in every experiment. For labs running multiple samples daily, this reliability translates to time saved and more accurate data.
Practical Applications
This high-purity solvent finds applications across various scientific disciplines:
In pharmaceutical labs, it’s commonly used for drug formulation analysis and quality control testing. Environmental scientists rely on it for pesticide residue analysis and water quality testing. Academic researchers use it in everything from protein purification to DNA extraction protocols.
The 1-liter size is particularly convenient for:
- Small to medium-scale research projects
- Teaching labs in universities and colleges
- Quality control departments in manufacturing
- Startup biotech companies with limited storage space
Pro tip: Always store your HPLC-grade solvents in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their purity over time.
Safety Considerations
While 2-propanol is generally safer than some other organic solvents, proper handling is essential. Always work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood when using large quantities. The material is flammable, so keep it away from open flames and heat sources. For personal protection, we recommend nitrile gloves and safety goggles when handling.

FAQs
What makes HPLC grade 2-propanol different from regular isopropyl alcohol?
HPLC grade undergoes additional purification to remove impurities that could interfere with chromatographic analysis. It has lower UV absorbance and stricter specifications for residual contaminants compared to technical or pharmaceutical grades.
Can I use this 2-propanol for DNA extraction?
Yes, many molecular biology protocols use HPLC-grade 2-propanol for DNA precipitation and other sensitive applications where purity is critical.
How should I store this solvent to maintain its quality?
Store in a tightly sealed original container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and ignition sources. Properly stored, it maintains its specifications for at least 2 years.
Is this product suitable for GC analysis as well?
While primarily designed for HPLC, this high-purity grade can often be used for GC applications. However, for dedicated GC work, we recommend our GC-grade solvents for optimal performance.
What documentation comes with this product?
Each bottle includes a certificate of analysis from Merck detailing the batch-specific purity data and test results, ensuring traceability for your quality records.
