Alcohol Swabs

Product Overview

Direct Anti Peptide’s Alcohol Swabs are a dependable, cost-effective laboratory consumable trusted by researchers and qualified professionals worldwide. Each swab pad is saturated with 70% isopropyl alcohol, delivering consistent and effective surface preparation performance in controlled research and laboratory settings. Whether you are managing a high-throughput research workflow or maintaining sterile preparation protocols in a laboratory environment, these swabs offer the reliability and value that professional researchers demand. Available to buy online now through Direct Anti Peptide, these swabs are an essential addition to any well-equipped research facility.

Peptide Structure & Amino Acid Sequence

As a laboratory consumable rather than a peptide compound, Alcohol Swabs do not carry a peptide sequence or CAS number applicable to a molecular structure. However, the active agent — isopropyl alcohol (IPA), CAS 67-63-0 — is a well-characterised, widely used chemical compound in laboratory and research settings. IPA at a 70% aqueous concentration is recognised across scientific literature as an effective agent for surface decontamination preparation in controlled environments, owing to its specific evaporation rate and interaction profile with biological membranes at this dilution.

Chemical & Physical Characteristics

• Active Agent: Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA), CAS 67-63-0
• Concentration: 70% v/v isopropyl alcohol in purified water
• Pad Material: Non-woven absorbent fabric designed to retain saturation and release evenly upon contact
• Physical State: Pre-saturated single-use swab pads, individually wrapped
• Evaporation Profile: Rapid evaporation post-application, leaving no significant residue on prepared surfaces
• pH: Approximately neutral, consistent with standard IPA aqueous solutions

The 70% isopropyl alcohol concentration is specifically formulated to optimise surface preparation efficacy in laboratory conditions, making it the preferred specification for research-grade preparation protocols.

Purity & Analytical Verification (HPLC & MS)

The isopropyl alcohol used in these swabs meets high-grade purity standards appropriate for laboratory and research preparation applications. The 70% IPA formulation is produced under controlled manufacturing conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. While HPLC and MS analytical verification is specific to peptide and chemical compound products, the IPA concentration in each swab is verified through established quality control processes to confirm accurate saturation levels and consistent delivery across every individually wrapped unit.

Quality Control & Lyophilization Integrity

As a pre-saturated consumable, Alcohol Swabs are not subject to lyophilization. However, each individually wrapped swab undergoes quality assurance checks during manufacturing to ensure complete saturation integrity, sealed packaging, and freedom from contamination. The individual foil or film wrapping preserves the IPA concentration and prevents premature evaporation, ensuring that each swab performs to specification at the point of use in the research laboratory.

Safety, Handling & Laboratory Precautions

• For use by suitably qualified laboratory professionals only
• Isopropyl alcohol is flammable — keep away from open flames and ignition sources
• Use in a well-ventilated laboratory environment
• Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact; use appropriate laboratory PPE where required
• Store away from heat sources and direct sunlight
• Dispose of used swabs in accordance with your facility’s laboratory waste disposal protocols
• Not intended for human or animal use, consumption, or clinical application of any kind

Reconstitution, Packaging & Storage

Alcohol Swabs require no reconstitution. Each swab is supplied individually wrapped to maintain saturation and prevent contamination prior to use. To use in a laboratory preparation context, remove the swab from its individual packaging immediately before use. Apply to the intended surface by drawing the swab across in a single, consistent direction, then allow the surface to air-dry naturally before proceeding with any laboratory procedure. Store swabs in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep packaging sealed until point of use to preserve IPA concentration integrity.
