Description

General description

Ethanol, also known as Ethyl alcohol, is a primary alcohol. It is a colorless liquid that has low viscosity and is widely used as a solvent and intermediate in organic syntheses. It is miscible in solvents such as water, ketones, ethers, and other alcohols.

Application

Ethanol may be used as solvent in the following application:

• Solvent in organic synthesis (Ex. Esterification reaction)
• Solvent for cytofluorimetric analysis
• Antimicrobial and disinfectant agent
• Cleaning
• Purification
• General Chemical Syntheses

Features and Benefits

Reagent Grade solvents are the perfect choice for very general lab applications. Its specification is defined by assay and offering ≥95% purity.

Components

95 parts of specially denatured ethyl alcohol 3A, 200 proof, with 5 parts of isopropyl alcohol. Final concentrations are ~ 90% ethanol, ~ 5% methanol and ~ 5% isopropanol.
