Isopropanol is a polar organic solvent that is widely used in chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology. Industrial applications include its use in antifreezes,
quick-drying oils, and quick-drying inks, and as a solvent for gums, shellac, and essential oils.

Isopropanol has been utilized as a solvent in the synthesis of solid phase acylating agents. Protocols for the use of isopropanol in DNA precipitation from mammalian tissue, ethidium bromide extraction from DNA samples, and RNA isolation from
cells and tissues have been reported. Isopropanol has been utilized in protein crystallization. The use of isopropanol to isolate retinoids from biological
matrices for HPLC and HPLC-MS analysis has been reported.

Isopropanol is a clear, colorless, polar organic solvent commonly used in chemistry and molecular biology laboratories. It will dissolve a wide range of chemicals, and evaporates quickly.

Application:
• in DNA and RNA extraction
• for determination of hydroxyproline levels
• for checking cell viability by MTT assay
• in microarray hybridization
