Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% – Precision-Grade Cleaning Solution

Ultra-Pure IPA for Home Laboratory Use

Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% is an essential high-purity solvent widely used in home laboratories across the UK. While not specifically formulated for plant tissue culture, this ultra-refined solution is well-suited for critical cleaning and sterilisation applications that support contamination-free workspaces, including plant micropropagation setups. Home lab enthusiasts and hobbyist botanists alike value Isopropyl Alcohol for its versatility and fast evaporation rate. Its near-total purity (99.9%) ensures minimal residue, making it ideal for wiping down work surfaces, cleaning precision glassware, and sterilising instruments before and after use.

Why Choose 99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol?

  • Laboratory-Grade Purity: The 99.9% concentration offers superior efficacy for sterilisation and solvent-based cleaning tasks, reducing microbial contamination risks.
  • Ideal for Glass and Metal Surfaces: Safely removes oils, residues, and particles from workstations, scalpels, jars, and transfer tools without corroding them.
  • Quick-Drying and Residue-Free: Leaves no unwanted residue behind—an essential feature for maintaining aseptic environments during culture preparation.
  • Multipurpose Use: Perfect not just for plant tissue culture prep, but also electronics cleaning, degreasing, and disinfecting high-contact surfaces.

Application Tips for UK-Based Home Lab Users

For those practising plant tissue culture at home, maintaining sterility is crucial. Use 99.9% IPA to wipe down all tools and work areas before media preparation or explant transfer. While not a replacement for autoclaving, Isopropyl Alcohol is an invaluable aid in reducing bacterial and fungal contaminants. Always use in a well-ventilated space and store in a tightly sealed container away from heat and direct sunlight.
