Re: [DIYbio] Using isopropanol in place of ethanol in DNA purification kits?

I use "reagent alcohol" which is 90% ethanol, 5% isopropanol, 5% methanol, and it works fine. So you can at least replace some of the ethanol with isopropanol. I'm not sure what would happen if you just used isopropanol.

Hi,

The plasmid 'miniprep' extraction and PCR purification kits I've seen all require ethanol to be added to the column wash solution. Is it possible to add isopropanol in place of ethanol in these kits?

Best regards,
JP
