    Product Overview

    High-purity absolute ethanol for laboratory synthesis and extraction.

    Detailed Description

    Absolute Ethanol supplier in Oman - Global Chemicals LLC provides high-purity anhydrous ethanol (99.5-99.9%) for laboratory research, DNA extraction, and organic synthesis in Muscat, Sohar, Duqm, Salalah. Our absolute ethanol contains <0.5% water, making it ideal for molecular biology, pharmaceutical research, and chemical synthesis. Essential for DNA/RNA precipitation, histology, chromatography, and solvent extraction. Available in various grades (ACS, molecular biology, HPLC) to meet specific research requirements. Widely used in university labs, pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and industrial QC facilities across Oman. Absolute ethanol (99.9% anhydrous, molecular sieves dried, ACS reagent grade) is essential in Oman's research laboratories for water-sensitive reactions, NMR solvent preparation, molecular biology applications (DNA/RNA precipitation, enzyme storage), and HPLC mobile phase preparation. Also used in pharmaceutical validation and cleaning validation procedures in GMP facilities. Global Chemicals LLC supplies absolute ethanol in 500mL, 2.5L, and 5L containers to university labs, pharmaceutical QC, and research institutions across Oman.

    Frequently Asked Questions — Ethanol Absolute (Laboratory Grade)

    Absolute ethanol (anhydrous ethanol, 200 proof, CAS 64-17-5) is ethanol with water content below 0.1% (99.5%+ purity by GC), produced by azeotropic or molecular sieve dehydration beyond the normal 95.6% ethanol-water azeotrope. The absence of water makes it essential for applications where any water contamination causes problems: DNA/RNA precipitation and washing in molecular biology (water inhibits alcohol precipitation of nucleic acids); Karl Fischer water content titration (absolute ethanol is the titration solvent); dehydration steps in histology tissue processing (serial dilutions from 70% to 100% ethanol dehydrate tissue before paraffin embedding); anhydrous organic synthesis reactions (Grignard, esterification) where water causes side reactions; spectroscopic standards preparation (water has UV and IR absorptions that interfere); and absolute ethanol is the certified vehicle for many pharmaceutical reference standards. For Oman's university chemistry, biology, and medical laboratory sectors, absolute ethanol from Sigma-Aldrich, Merck, or BDH is the preferred choice. Global Chemicals LLC supplies laboratory absolute ethanol with molecular sieve packaging to prevent atmospheric moisture uptake.
