Tincture Iodine – 125ml Packs

Tincture Iodine is an elemental iodine and potassium iodide solution in ethanol prepared to support educational science demonstrations and curriculum laboratory experiments. It provides science educators with an accessible reagent for exploring carbohydrate identification and cytology.

In school biology practicals and introductory college courses, this solution is widely employed for demonstrating photosynthetic starch accumulation in leaves and testing food samples. It also serves as an effective biological stain for temporary wet mounts, highlighting plant cell walls, starch grains, and nuclei under compound light microscopes.

As a versatile educational laboratory chemical, it bridges botanical concepts with observable color reactions, producing an unmistakable deep blue-black complex with starch. It represents an essential, student-friendly supply item for academic science prep rooms.

Keep the bottle tightly capped and stored in a shaded storage area away from open flames. Students should wear standard laboratory coats and gloves to prevent skin staining.
