ethyl alcohol vs isopropyl alcohol

#9679405 - 01/25/09 08:47 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

I have a few containers of, i believe it's called "Germ-x", hand sanitizer. atm I use isopropyl alcohol a.k.a. rubbing alcohol 70% for sterilizing my hands and working surfaces in front of the flow hood. I was wondering if it would be better to use the germ-x stuff for my hands and possibly the working surfaces instead. the germ-x bottle says it uses 62% ethyl alcohol as the active ingredient. I was also considering just using the germ-x for when I make monotubs.

Either will work. Neither will make the germs more dead than the other.
