iso-AMYL ALCOHOL (For Molecular Biology) is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This iso-AMYL ALCOHOL is meant for molecular biology. This organic compound is one of the different isomers of amyl alcohol. This reagent is soluble in water and very soluble in acetone, diethyl ether, ethanol. Isoamyl alcohol has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It is extensively used in the food industry to impart banana flavour in foods. It is additionally the main component in Kovacs reagent, which is utilized in Indole test, a bacterial diagnostic test. Isoamyl alcohol is incorporated in phenolchloroform extraction mixed with the chloroform to further inhibit RNase activity and prevent the solubility of RNAs with long tracts of poly-adenine. Furthermore, it is used as an antifoaming agent in the Chloroform:Isomyl Alcohol reagent. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
