Buy Alcohol Swabs in Australia
Buy alcohol swabs in Australia from Macropus Peptides in a box of 100. Each swab is a small pad soaked in isopropyl alcohol, the everyday consumable for wiping the rubber septum of a peptide or bacteriostatic water vial before it is pierced. Isopropyl alcohol evaporates quickly and leaves no residue, so a septum is clean and dry within seconds. The same swabs are used on pen cartridge septa, pen needle threads and small areas of bench. A box of 100 lasts through many reconstitutions, and at this price it is worth keeping a spare in every lab drawer. Starter kits and pen kits already contain 20 swabs, and this pack is the refill. Order with your peptides, syringes and sharps container and everything ships together from Australia. For laboratory use by adults 18 and over.

Buy Alcohol Swabs Australia: 100 Pack
Macropus Peptides stocks these pads in boxes of 100, the simplest item in our supplies range and one of the most used. Every time a vial septum or pen cartridge is pierced, a fresh pad goes first, so a busy bench gets through a box quickly. They are the refill for the 20 pads packed in each starter kit and pen kit.
What is an alcohol prep pad
An alcohol swab, also sold as an alcohol prep pad, is a small square of non-woven absorbent material soaked in isopropyl alcohol and sealed in its own foil sachet. Opened and used once, it wipes a surface clean and leaves it to air dry. Isopropyl alcohol is the solvent of choice because it evaporates within seconds, leaves no film, and lifts surface contamination from rubber, glass, metal and plastic.
How an alcohol prep pad is used in the lab
In peptide work the pad has one main job: cleaning the rubber septum of a vial before a needle passes through it. Flip the plastic cap off a new vial, wipe the septum firmly with a fresh pad, and wait until the rubber is visibly dry before piercing it with an insulin syringe. Drying matters as much as wiping, since liquid alcohol left on the stopper can be carried into the vial. A pad is also handy for the threads of a pen tip and for a small patch of bench before a vial is set down, though large work surfaces are better cleaned with a spray and wipe. The same routine applies to each draw from a bottle of bacteriostatic water and to the cartridge septum of a pen before each pen needle is fitted.
Isopropyl alcohol swabs: the size in stock
- **Box:** 100 individually sealed pads
- **Solvent:** isopropyl alcohol
- **Format:** single-use, pre-moistened
We stock one box size, and labs needing more simply order several. A 100 pack covers roughly five kits' worth of septum wipes, and because the sachets are sealed one by one, the pads at the bottom of the box stay as moist as the first.

Each sachet tears open along one edge. Use the pad once, on one surface, and discard it; a pad reused on a second surface can carry contamination across.

A single box is the lowest-priced item in our supplies range and covers a large number of preparations. Since starter kits and Retatrutide pen kits already include 20 pads, most buyers order a box as the refill once the kit supply runs out, or add one to every larger peptide order so the bench never runs short.
Alcohol swabs for our vials, pens and kits
The pads suit every vial we sell, from single peptides to blends, and every pen format, from the pre-filled Retatrutide pen to the reusable peptide pen. Every compound starter kit in peptide kits contains 20, as does each pen kit. Value packs contain vials only, so add a box whenever you order one of those.

Alcohol prep pad storage and disposal in Australia
Keep the box closed at room temperature, away from heat, sparks and open flame, because isopropyl alcohol is flammable. A sachet that feels dry or crackly has lost its alcohol and should be thrown away unused. Used pads go into general laboratory waste unless they have touched biological material, in which case follow your clinical waste procedure. They never go into the sharps container, which is kept for needles and broken glass.
