Description
Ethanol extra pure, minimum 99.5 %, Ph.Eur., is a versatile laboratory solvent and process alcohol for analytical, pharmaceutical-related and general research use. It is defined by CAS number 64-17-5, empirical formula C₂H₆O, molar mass 46,07 g/mol and density 0,79 g/cm³, with a boiling point of 78 °C and flash point of 12 °C. Supplied in a 1 l glass bottle, the grade supports extraction, cleaning, sample preparation and formulation tasks that call for high alcohol content and pharmacopoeial alignment. Manufacturer Carl ROTH provides this quality with EG nr. 200-578-6 and UN number 1170 for clear identification and logistics handling. The extra-pure Ph.Eur. specification suits laboratories that need consistent solvent performance across routine and regulated workflows. Physical data such as density and boiling point aid method transfer and equipment setup, while the one-litre glass pack is practical for bench supply and controlled dispensing. Ethanol remains a core reagent for disinfection-related research, organic work-up steps and general laboratory solvent systems where a minimum 99.5 % assay is specified.

Questions about Ethanol, extra pure, min. 99.5 %, Ph.Eur., 1 l
What is this article?
Ethanol, extra pure, min. 99.5 %, Ph.Eur., 1 l is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Cleaning & disinfection (other), inside Cleaning & disinfection, in Sécurité.
This shelf holds cleaning and disinfection articles that are not a plain detergent, a wipe or a named disinfectant: combined products and odd formats. Read the claim. A product that only cleans should not be described as a disinfectant.
Cleaning removes soil. Disinfection kills or inactivates microbes that remain. They are not the same step, and a disinfectant on top of dirt does less than the label claims. The spectrum, the contact time and the surface decide the product. A wipe is the mechanical half of the same job. Chemical classification is on ECHA. Workplace practice is EU-OSHA on dangerous substances. Biosafety context is the WHO biosafety topic.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Cleaning & disinfection. The sub-category is Cleaning & disinfection (other). The catalogue is Sécurité.
Shelves beside this one are Wipes, tissues & paper towels, Laboratory cleaners & detergents and Disinfectants & biocides.
What should I check before I order?
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
How does ordering and shipping work?
Luminix Health distributes this article from the heart of Europe. Articles in stock ship within 2–5 business days. Standard delivery is free from €250 excl. VAT. Cold-chain goods and dangerous goods under ADR are never included in that free delivery. The terms are in the Shipping Policy. The full brand index is on shop by brand. Who we are is on about us.
Which other categories should I open?
