Ethanol Extra Pure - Analytical & Histology Uses

Extra?pure ethanol is used in graded dehydration series before paraffin embedding and for rehydration in histology and cytology protocols.

Analytical labs employ it as a low?residue solvent for sample preparation, extractions, and as a component of mobile phases and cleaning mixtures.

It serves as a versatile carrier for stains, indicators, and standards where water content and organic impurities must be tightly controlled.

In microbiology and general lab workflows, ethanol is also used for bench disinfection and DNA/RNA precipitation when mixed with salts.
