Isopropyl Alcohol Swabs: research reference
This supply consists of individually sealed swabs impregnated with 70 % isopropyl alcohol. In the laboratory, 70 % isopropyl alcohol is used to clean surfaces and vial septa. Asciende does not declare a level of microbial reduction or disinfection performance: these are not verified by batch. It is used to prepare the work area and disinfect the stopper before each puncture in the laboratory.
Supply specification and compatibility
A supply reference does not replace the laboratory procedure. Record its conditions of use and avoid assuming equivalence from appearance.

Mechanism described in the literature
This supply is not a chemical entity under study and does not act on any biological target in the experiment. Its function is surface asepsis at the laboratory bench.
