Nucleic Acid Precipitation and Cleanup: Precipitates and washes DNA/RNA in plasmid preps, PCR cleanup, and nucleic acid isolation workflows.

Protein Precipitation: Concentrates and purifies proteins by ethanol-induced precipitation.

Preparation of 70% Ethanol: Diluted to 70% for routine disinfection and surface decontamination.

Gram Staining Decolorizer: Serves as the decolorizing agent in Gram staining of bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Histology and Cytology Dehydration: Used in tissue and cell dehydration steps prior to clearing and staining.

Specimen Preservation: Preserves biological field samples (e.g., insects and small tissue pieces) for short- to medium-term storage.

Column and Bead Washes: Employed in DNA/NGS library prep wash steps for desalting and impurity removal.

Flame Sterilization Fuel: Provides a clean-burning fuel for flaming metal tools in microbiology workflows.

Gel and Membrane Dehydration: Dehydrates gels and membranes to accelerate drying and downstream processing.

General Laboratory Solvent Cleaning: Removes water and residues from glassware, instruments, and surfaces due to rapid evaporation.
