Propane-2-ol
Propane-2-ol (Product Code: SCL-939/212), better known as isopropyl alcohol or propan-2-ol, is the simplest secondary alcohol, used as a solvent and as a test compound in school, college and biotechnology laboratories. Each 250 ml bottle is analytical reagent grade and is supplied with an MSDS for alcohol-test practicals, lens cleaning and DNA precipitation. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry consumables supplier in India.

What Is Propane-2-ol Used For?
Propan-2-ol is the standard example of a secondary alcohol in practicals that distinguish primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. With the Lucas test it turns cloudy after a short delay, placed between methanol, which shows no quick change, and tertiary butyl alcohol, which clouds almost at once. It also gives a positive iodoform test, producing a yellow precipitate with iodine in alkali, and on oxidation it forms acetone, a useful link between the alcohol and ketone chapters. In biology and biotechnology labs, cold isopropyl alcohol is used to precipitate DNA in simple extraction experiments.
It evaporates quickly and leaves little residue, so a lint-free tissue moistened with it is handy for cleaning microscope lenses, pH electrodes and glass slides. The liquid and its vapour are highly flammable: keep the bottle capped, work away from burners, and use only small amounts on open benches. A 250 ml bottle is a practical size for a class set of alcohol tests within a well-planned set of chemistry lab equipment in India.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who supplies Propane-2-ol SCL-939/212?
Propane-2-ol (SCL-939/212) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources this analytical reagent grade solvent in 250 ml bottles, each supplied with an MSDS, for schools, colleges and laboratories in India and international markets.
Is Propane-2-ol the same as isopropyl alcohol?
Yes. Propane-2-ol, propan-2-ol, isopropanol and isopropyl alcohol are all names for the same secondary alcohol. The product code SCL-939/212 identifies this analytical reagent grade bottle, so quote it in your enquiry to avoid confusion with other alcohols.
What volume does a bottle of Propane-2-ol hold?
Each bottle of Propane-2-ol holds 250 ml, a practical size for a class set of Lucas and iodoform tests or for cleaning optics. Larger requirements are met with multiple bottles, so state the total volume you need when you request a quotation.
Can Propane-2-ol be used to clean microscope lenses?
Yes. Applied sparingly on lens tissue, Propane-2-ol removes oil and fingerprints from microscope lenses, pH electrodes and glass slides and evaporates with little residue. Check the microscope maker's advice first for lenses with special coatings.
What is the shelf life of Propane-2-ol?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep Propane-2-ol tightly capped in a cool, ventilated place away from heat and flames, because it is highly flammable.
What should an institutional quotation for Propane-2-ol include?
An institutional request for Propane-2-ol should list the product code SCL-939/212, the number of bottles, the delivery address and any tender reference. Send these through the contact page, and add the other alcohols for the comparison practical so they are quoted together.
