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 alcohol swabs in boxes of 100 as the simplest item in our supplies range and one of the most used. Every time a vial septum or pen cartridge is pierced, a swab goes first, so laboratories get through them quickly.
What are alcohol swabs
An alcohol swab, sometimes called an alcohol prep pad, is a small square of absorbent material soaked in isopropyl alcohol. Used once, it wipes a surface clean and leaves it to air dry. Isopropyl alcohol is chosen because it evaporates quickly, leaves no film, and is effective at removing surface contamination from rubber, glass and plastic.

A single box costs little and covers many preparations. Because starter kits and Retatrutide pen kits already include 20 swabs, most buyers order a 100 pack as the refill once the kit supply runs out, or add one to every larger peptide order so the lab never runs short.
Using alcohol swabs on vials and pens
Remove the plastic flip cap from a new vial, then wipe the rubber septum firmly with a fresh swab and allow it to dry fully before piercing it with an insulin syringe. Wiping and drying matter equally: alcohol still wet on the septum can be carried into the vial. Use a new swab each time the septum is pierced, including every draw from a bottle of bacteriostatic water. On a pen, swab the cartridge septum before fitting each pen needle.
Storage and disposal of alcohol swabs
Keep the box closed at room temperature, away from heat and open flame, since isopropyl alcohol is flammable. Swabs that feel dry have lost their alcohol and should be thrown away. Used swabs go in general laboratory waste unless they are contaminated with biological material, in which case follow your clinical waste procedure. They do not go in the sharps container, which is kept for needles.
Kits and packs that include alcohol swabs
Every peptide starter kit in peptide kits contains 20 swabs, as does each Retatrutide pen kit. Value packs contain vials only, so add swabs separately if you order one of those.
Why buy alcohol swabs with your peptides
A box of swabs adds almost nothing to an order and prevents a hold-up at the bench. Put a box in the same cart as your peptides and syringes and the bench has all it needs when the parcel lands. Other consumables are listed in lab supplies.
