Isopropanol is a clear, colorless, polar organic solvent commonly used in chemistry and molecular biology laboratories. It will dissolve a wide range of chemicals, and evaporates quickly. 2-Propanol has been used in DNA and RNA extraction, for determination of hydroxyproline levels, for checking cell viability by MTT assay, and in microarray hybridization.
