SHORT DESCRIPTION

Ethanol Extra Pure 99.8% is a highly purified grade of ethyl alcohol widely used in laboratory, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and analytical applications. At 99.8% purity, it contains minimal water, making it ideal for dehydration reactions, chromatography, spectroscopy, and cleanroom procedures. It serves as a universal solvent, disinfectant, and intermediate in chemical synthesis. This extra pure grade ensures low impurity levels, making it suitable for precision scientific experiments and pharmaceutical formulations. It is volatile and flammable, so it should be stored tightly sealed, in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from ignition sources.

Description

USES

Primary Laboratory Uses:

  1. Solvent for chemical reactions and extractions:
    Widely used to dissolve polar and some nonpolar compounds in synthesis, chromatography, and sample preparation.

  2. Disinfectant and sterilizing agent:
    Effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms; used to sterilize lab surfaces, instruments, and biological samples.

  3. Preservative for biological specimens:
    Used in histology and microbiology to fix and preserve tissue or microbial cultures.

  4. Reagent in organic synthesis:
    Acts as a reactant in esterification, oxidation, and other organic transformations.

Secondary Laboratory Uses:

  1. Cleaning agent for lab glassware and surfaces:
    Removes grease, oils, and residues without leaving water marks.

  2. Dehydrating agent in sample processing:
    Assists in water removal during tissue processing or preparing samples for microscopy.

  3. Component in buffer and extraction solutions:
    Helps maintain solution properties in biochemical assays and DNA/RNA extraction.

  4. Calibration and density reference in instruments:
    Used to calibrate alcoholmeters and validate ethanol concentration in QC labs.
