[Nhcoll-l] Polipropilene labels on EtOH

[Sergio Montagud]

We are planning to use small polipropilene labels to codify samples of invertebrates in small tubes (2 ml, 8 ml and 30 ml). The labels will place inside the tube, in contact with sample and the EtOH. The ethanol is 96 % or near absolute to preserve DNA. My question is if anyone knows if propylene material can detach chemicals (like acidification o similar) o can react with EtOH and cause damage to DNA. 

 

Advices and experiences are welcome!

 

Thanks in advance

 

Sergio
