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.
