Alcohol Solutions
What are alcohol solutions and reagents?

Alcohol solutions, most commonly those that contain ethanol, isopropanol, or methanol, are widely used in laboratories for cleaning, disinfecting surfaces, and molecular biology applications, such as nucleic acid precipitation, Western blotting, and gel staining. 

 

We offer a wide range of alcohol solutions and reagents in various pre-diluted concentrations, including 70% and 95% ethanol. We also sell pre-prepared Electroblot Buffer and Destain Solution for nitrocellulose or PVDF membrane transfers and removing excess Coomassie Brilliant Blue dye following protein staining of SDS-PAGE gels, respectively.

Why choose our alcohol solutions and reagents?

Our alcohol solutions are supplied as ready-to-use formulations, eliminating the time required for in-house preparation. We offer a wide range of container sizes and formats, including large bags, and can flexibly provide RUO, RUO+, and GMP-grade reagents to meet your R&D or bioprocessing needs.  


Our alcohol solutions are designed to integrate seamlessly into your workflows and are manufactured under rigorous quality control. If you require custom alcohol concentrations, container formats, or bulk quantities not listed, please contact us to discuss your specific requirements or start a custom order.

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.

All of our alcohol solutions and reagents can be stored at room temperature, and most have a shelf life of 1,095 days. The storage instructions for your specific product can be found on your product label.
