Yeah if you're using high percentage isopropanol it's less effective. I think the current recommendation is 70% for sterilization purposes as it remains in contact longer. Higher percentages is more for its use as a solvent or cleaning electronics.

I thought the 70% was recommended because it helps maintain membrane fluidity or something like that
