Description
Denatured ethanol is a 99.5% denatured ethyl alcohol from Pure Rawz, sold as a liquid. It’s sold as a laboratory supply for research use.
What is Denatured ethanol?
This is 99.5% ethanol with a denaturant added so it can’t be drunk. It’s a lab solvent and cleaning agent.
Ethanol is the same alcohol found in drinks, here at near-pure strength.
Mechanism of action
Ethanol dissolves many organic compounds and evaporates quickly. As a disinfectant it denatures proteins in bacteria.
It’s flammable, so store it away from heat and flames.
What studies say about Denatured ethanol
Labs use ethanol to dissolve compounds, clean surfaces and equipment, and preserve samples.
70% ethanol works better as a disinfectant than 99.5%, so many labs dilute it.
The primary literature is on PubMed. Here’s a search to start from.
Denatured ethanol sizes and forms
This listing is a 60ml bottle of liquid for $11.45.
The liquid is a ready-made solution. The concentration per mL is on the label, and a graduated dropper gives the most accurate measures.
Study design notes
Reconstitution liquids and solvents are the part of a protocol that’s easy to overlook. The wrong liquid can stop a peptide dissolving, change its stability or interfere with an assay.
Match the liquid to the compound and to how long you’ll keep the solution. Single-use work can use sterile water, while multi-draw vials need a preservative.
Buy in the size you’ll use before the expiry date. A large bottle that sits open for months isn’t a saving.
Denatured ethanol at a glance
- Forms: liquid
- Size: 60ml
- Use: laboratory research only
How to store Denatured ethanol
Store liquids at room temperature with the cap screwed on, away from heat and light. Keep the bottle sealed in a cool, dark place. Some solvents absorb moisture from the air, so close it after each use.
Label the container with the opening date. It saves guesswork later.
Which liquid to use
Different compounds need different liquids. Here’s how our range lines up:
- Bacteriostatic Water: the default for most peptides, with 0.9% benzyl alcohol so a vial can be drawn from for several weeks
- Sterile Water: no preservative, for single-use mixing or assays where benzyl alcohol would interfere
- Acetic Acid Reconstitution Solution: dilute acid for peptides that dissolve poorly in water, such as IGF-1 LR3
- Phosphate Buffered Solution: holds the pH near 7.4 for dilutions and cell work
- L-Glutathione Reconstitution Solution: adds an antioxidant for peptides prone to oxidation
- Reconstitution Solution: a general-purpose sterile diluent for the shelf
- DMSO Dimethyl Sulfoxide: a strong solvent for stock solutions of compounds that won’t dissolve in water
- Benzyl Alcohol USP Grade: preservative and co-solvent for oil-based solutions
- Grape Seed Oil 100% Filtered: a light carrier oil for fat-soluble compounds
Safe handling
Wear gloves and eye protection, work in a ventilated area, and keep flammable solvents away from heat and open flames. Close the bottle after each use.

Common questions about Denatured ethanol
Does it come with a certificate of analysis?
Yes. Every batch is tested, and we’ll email the certificate of analysis for your batch number on request.
Can it be used in people or animals?
No. It’s sold for laboratory research only and isn’t approved for human or veterinary use.
How should I store it?
Follow the storage section above. In short: cold and dark for freeze-dried vials, room temperature and dry for capsules, tablets, powders and liquids, unless the label says otherwise.
Is Denatured ethanol in stock?
Yes. It’s in stock and ships from our warehouse after your order clears.
