99.9% Isopropyl Alcohol As a Disinfectant
Isopropyl alcohol has a strong sterilization ability and is a medium-efficiency disinfectant. It can kill bacterial propagules, viruses, and fungi, and it has a stronger killing effect on certain bacteria and viruses than isopropyl alcohol. Generally speaking, it has the same disinfection scope as alcohol disinfectant, and its sterilization ability is better than ethanol. IPA is mostly used for skin disinfection, hand disinfection, and medical instruments disinfection such as microscope eyepieces, and objective lenses, ultrasound probes, stethoscopes, etc. 99.9 % isopropyl alcohol is the most widely used. Besides, it can be used in the preparation of compound disinfectant instead of ethanol.
