What is the function of isoproponal in RNA isolation?
Isopropanol precipitates the RNA. Up to that point it's generally in solution. Centrifuging the tube after this step should leave a very faint but generally visible white smudge/pellet of RNA. The ethanol steps that follow the isopropanol precipitation are simple washes.
Is isopropanol flammable?
yes it is.
Is isopropanol or ethanol bigger?
Ethanol has two carbons, isopropanol has three carbons. So iso-propanol is larger in size.
What is preferred in DNA extraction ethanol or isopropanol and why?
Isopropanol is more preferred than ethanol in DNA extraction, as isopropanol facilitates precipitation more better, as it possess very less i.e., 0.6 to 0.7 volumes of alcohol.
Is poly aniline soluble in isopropanol?
no
Is anhydrous isopropanol the same thing as isopropanol?
Yes, both isopropanol and anhydrous isopropanol are forms of rubbing alcohol.
Is coal soluble in isopropanol?
Coal is not soluble in isopropanol.
Does TOP dissolve in isopropanol?
No. TOP does not dissolve in Isopropanol. the TOP flakes fall right to the bottom. and the isopropanol stays clear.
Are propanol and isopropanol isomers?
Propanol and isopropanol are isomers. Isopropanol is the structural isomer of propanol. It has a strong smell and is without any color.
Is copper soluble in isopropanol?
yeah copper wont dissolve in isopropanol

Are ammonia and isopropanol chemicals?
Yes, ammonia and isopropanol are chemicals; all the universe is a mixture of elements and chemical compounds.
