About 70% Isopropyl Alcohol Solution

Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is widely used as a disinfectant in pharmaceutical companies. It is effective on gram positive and gram negative bacteria and kills microbial cells within a few seconds. However, it is not effective against bacterial and fungal spores.  Disinfectant efficacy depends upon two factors:

·      Concentration of disinfectant solution: Different guidelines and pharmacopoeias recommend 70% IPA solution.  This concentration is most effective as bacterial cells have proteins in their cell wall and when this protein comes in contact with the 70% IPA during disinfectant application coagulation of proteins takes places and denaturation of proteins occurs.  Subsequently the IPA penetrates the interior of the cell which cause lysis or death of the cell.  Protein coagulation happens with 100% IPA, but with fast rate, and because of this fast protein coagulation process, denatured protein forms protective layer outside of the cell. When this happens the 100% solution cannot penetrate inside the cell and is not able to kill the microbe. Microorganisms then become dormant. In case of 70% IPA protein coagulation takes place at a slow rate and consequently has enough time to penetrate the cell and kill the microorganism

·      Contact time: Efficacy is improved with increased contact time, as 70% IPA takes longer time to evaporate there is increased contact time, thus making it more effective.
