Labbox 2-propanol 99.9% GLR
This solvent impresses professional users with its high purity, rapid evaporation and universal application options. Whether as a cleaning agent and disinfectant in the laboratory or for analytical procedures such as chromatography and spectroscopy - it offers the necessary reliability and consistent quality required in professional work areas. Due to its high degree of purity, it is often favoured over similar products as it leaves hardly any residue in sensitive applications and can be dosed precisely.
Versatile solvent for demanding processes
Isopropanol is a proven choice in laboratories and industrial environments. Its reliable dissolving power means that fats, resins and oils can be removed quickly, while the low-residue formula is gentle on both equipment and analysis results. Thanks to its ability to effectively inactivate bacteria and viruses, it is also used as a component in disinfectants, making it indispensable for many hygiene concepts.
Safe handling is facilitated by the clear labelling as a flammable liquid, and laboratories can rely on the proven safety specifications for storage. The product is also suitable for diluting and extracting a wide range of organic substances such as phenols, amines or organic acids, making it ideal for use in a variety of synthesis and analysis processes.

In addition to these key points, it is recommended that the prescribed safety measures are always observed during handling. For example, users should ensure sufficient temperature control and distance from potential sources of ignition. In laboratory environments in particular, proper ventilation is necessary to keep vaporisation and possible vapour development under control.
Certifications and standards
The product is classified according to current European directives and follows the CLP regulation (Classification, Labelling and Packaging). This ensures that the required information on hazards, handling and storage is clearly visible. In addition, production is based on demanding standards, which guarantees uniformly high purity and quality for users in certified DIN or ISO laboratories. In industrial areas, this transparency offers a high level of trust, as it is always clear how the alcohol should be categorised and handled.
Concrete application possibilities
- Cleaning sensitive equipment: Due to its low-residue formula, isopropanol can even be used for sensitive surfaces, such as microscopy slides or preparations for analytical test results.
- Disinfectant production: In combination with other components, it contributes to effective formulations against germs and viruses, which is particularly relevant in medical facilities.
- Preparation of analytical samples: Thanks to its rapid evaporation, it hardly affects measurements and helps to avoid falsification of results.
- Extraction and synthesis: For the processing of organic compounds, it plays an important role in the dilution and breakdown of complex substances.
The areas of application clearly show how universally the product can be used in a wide range of industries. At the same time, users benefit from consistent consistency, which is essential for reproducible work results.
FAQs
How should it be stored
?
It is advisable to store the liquid in a cool and dry place, preferably away from open flames or direct sunlight. A well-ventilated room with a controlled temperature also reduces the risk of vapour development.
What is important during transport and shipping
Shipping is subject to the dangerous goods regulations according to ADR and IATA. Approved packaging and clear dangerous goods labelling are required here to ensure that all safety standards are met.
Is the product approved for medical applications?
Further information on the composition and local legislation should always be checked when it comes to use in medical or cosmetic applications. In practice, it is often used as an ingredient in special formulations.
Can residues occur during analysis?
The purity of 99.9% and rapid evaporation ensure that only minimal residues usually remain. An appropriate drying time and the use of suitable equipment minimise possible influences.
How to deal with spillages
For small quantities, an absorbent binding agent should be used before any residue is removed with water. Protective clothing and respiratory protection are recommended for larger spills and intensive vapour development.
Conclusion
Thanks to its high purity and residue-free properties, this solvent is suitable for a wide range of work areas where a reliable yet easy-to-use product is required. From the precise cleaning of sensitive surfaces to the preparation of disinfectant solutions and analytical sample preparation, it impresses in terms of quality and efficiency. Its broad spectrum of activity, safe handling and compliance with important standards make it a proven standard in laboratories and industrial applications where a consistent, clean result is essential.
