Hydrox Antiseptics & Isopropyl Alcohol

Hydrox is a name clinics, labs, and stockrooms recognize for straightforward, dependable topical antiseptics and solvents — the kind of supplies you reach for dozens of times a day without a second thought. This collection covers two of the workhorses: 3% hydrogen peroxide antiseptic and 99% isopropyl alcohol, both packaged for practical use whether you're cleaning minor wounds, prepping skin, or wiping down surfaces and equipment.

The Hydrox Hydrogen Peroxide Antiseptic (A0013) comes in a full 1-gallon bottle at the standard 3% strength — the concentration used for first-aid cleansing of minor cuts and abrasions. Buying by the gallon keeps per-use cost down and means fewer reorders for busy first-aid stations and treatment rooms.

The Hydrox Isopropyl Alcohol (D0052) is a 16 oz. bottle of 99% liquid — a much higher purity than the 70% rubbing alcohol found on drugstore shelves. That difference matters: 99% IPA evaporates fast and leaves virtually no water residue, which is why it's preferred for cleaning electronics, lab surfaces, thermometers, and instruments where you don't want moisture left behind. For skin antisepsis, many users dilute it to roughly 70%, since a bit of water actually improves its disinfecting contact time.

A common question is which to grab: hydrogen peroxide is the gentler choice for flushing debris from a wound, while high-strength isopropyl alcohol is the better solvent and surface disinfectant. Most facilities keep both on hand for exactly that reason.
