Key Applications
This versatile solvent finds use in multiple lab scenarios:
- Mobile phase preparation in HPLC systems
- Sample dilution and extraction procedures
- Cleaning and degreasing lab glassware
- DNA/RNA extraction protocols
- General lab sanitation
Safety and Handling
While isopropyl alcohol is generally safer than other solvents, proper handling is essential:
- Use in well-ventilated areas or under fume hoods
- Store in a cool, dry place away from ignition sources
- Wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles) when handling
- Keep container tightly sealed when not in use
Why This Grade Matters
Not all isopropyl alcohol is created equal. The HPLC grade designation means this product has undergone additional purification steps to remove:
- UV-absorbing impurities that interfere with detection
- Residual water that can affect solvent strength
- Particulate matter that clogs columns
- Organic contaminants that cause baseline noise
For researchers working with sensitive detectors or graduate students learning proper technique, this level of purity can mean the difference between publishable data and inconclusive results.
Storage Recommendations
To maintain product integrity:
- Store at room temperature (15-30°C)
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
- Use within 12 months of opening for best results
- Keep original container tightly closed

FAQs
Risk Note
Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Causes serious eye irritation. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. No smoking. Use explosion-proof electrical equipment.
What makes HPLC grade different from regular isopropyl alcohol?
HPLC grade undergoes additional purification to remove UV-absorbing compounds, water, and particulates that could interfere with chromatographic analysis. Regular isopropyl alcohol may contain impurities that affect baseline stability and peak resolution.
Can I use this for DNA extraction?
Yes, this HPLC-grade isopropyl alcohol is suitable for molecular biology applications including DNA/RNA precipitation and extraction protocols where purity is critical.
How should I dispose of unused isopropyl alcohol?
Follow your institution’s chemical waste disposal protocols. Never pour down drains or dispose with regular trash. Many labs collect solvent waste for proper hazardous waste handling.
Is this product suitable for cleaning HPLC systems?
Absolutely. Its high purity makes it ideal for flushing HPLC systems and cleaning injectors without leaving residue that could contaminate future runs.
What’s the shelf life of unopened HPLC-grade isopropyl alcohol?
When stored properly in its original container, unopened bottles maintain specifications for at least 24 months from manufacture date. Always check for any signs of contamination before use.
