  2. Iodophor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodophor

    An iodophor is a preparation containing iodine complexed with a solubilizing agent, such as a surfactant or water-soluble polymers such as povidone (forming povidone-iodine), [1] [2] The result is a water-soluble material that releases free iodine when in solution. Iodophors are prepared by mixing iodine with the solubilizing agent; heat can be ...

  3. Tincture of iodine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tincture_of_iodine

    USP Tincture of Iodine is defined in the U.S. National Formulary (NF) as containing in each 100 mL, 1.8 to 2.2 grams of elemental iodine, and 2.1 to 2.6 grams of sodium iodide. Alcohol is 50 mL, and the balance is purified water. This "2% free iodine" solution has 0.08 mol/L of I 2, which provides about 1 mg of free iodine per 0.05 mL drop. The ...

  4. Iodine (medical use) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine_(medical_use)

    Iodine is a chemical element with many uses in medicine, depending on the form. Elemental iodine and iodophors are topical antiseptics. [2] Iodine, in non-elemental form, functions as an essential nutrient in human biology (see iodine in biology). [3] Organic compounds containing iodine are also useful iodinated contrast agents in X-ray imaging ...

  5. Lugol's iodine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugol's_iodine

    The most commonly used (nominal) 5% solution consists of 5% iodine (I 2) and 10% potassium iodide (KI) mixed in distilled water and has a total iodine content of 126.4 mg/mL. The (nominal) 5% solution thus has a total iodine content of 6.32 mg per drop of 0.05 mL; the (nominal) 2% solution has 2.53 mg total iodine content per drop.

  6. Iodine value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine_value

    Such a triglyceride has a high iodine value (approx. 119). Below, the reaction product after the addition of four equivalents of iodine or bromine to the four C=C double bonds of the unsaturated fatty acid residues. The determination of iodine value is a particular example of iodometry. A solution of iodine I 2 is yellow/brown in

  7. Povidone-iodine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Povidone-iodine

    Povidone-iodine is a chemical complex of povidone, hydrogen iodide, and elemental iodine. [4] The recommended strength solution contains 10% Povidone, with total iodine species equaling 10,000 ppm or 1% total titratable iodine. [4] It works by releasing iodine which results in the death of a range of microorganisms. [1]

  8. Iodometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodometry

    Sulfites and hydrogensulfites reduce iodine readily in acidic medium to iodide. Thus when a diluted but excess amount of standard iodine solution is added to known volume of sample, the sulfurous acid and sulfites present reduces iodine quantitatively: SO 2− 3 + I 2 + H 2 O → SO 2− 4 + 2 H + + 2 I − HSO − 3 + I 2 + H 2 O → SO 2− 4 ...

  9. Organoiodine chemistry - Wikipedia

    This application exploits the X-ray absorbing ability of the heavy iodine nucleus. A variety of agents are available commercially, many are derivatives of 1,3,5-triiodobenzene and contain about 50% by weight iodine. For most applications, the agent must be highly soluble in water and, of course, non-toxic and readily excreted.
