Alcohol Solutions
Alcohol solutions are commonly used for surface disinfection, equipment cleaning, and maintaining aseptic work areas. Ethanol is effective at reducing microbial contamination but is also widely used in molecular biology for nucleic acid precipitation, while methanol is used in several protein electrophoresis protocols for Western blot analysis and destaining Coomassie Brilliant Blue-stained SDS-PAGE gels.
70% ethanol solutions are widely used because the presence of water enhances protein denaturation and improves antimicrobial effectiveness, whereas higher concentrations can evaporate too quickly.
Yes. Our alcohol solutions are supplied pre-diluted and ready to use, eliminating the need for in-house preparation and helping ensure consistent concentration and performance from batch to batch.
