2. Lugol's iodine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugol's_iodine

   Lugol's iodine is a liquid made up of two parts potassium iodide for every one part elemental iodine in water. [8] Lugol's iodine was first made in 1829 by the French physician Jean Lugol. [7] [8] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. [9] [10] Lugol's iodine is available as a generic medication and over the ...

3. Iodine–starch test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine–starch_test

   The cut surface of an apple stained with iodine, indicating a starch level of 4–5. The iodine–starch test is a chemical reaction that is used to test for the presence of starch or for iodine. The combination of starch and iodine is intensely blue-black. [1] [2] The interaction between starch and the triiodide anion (I − 3) is the basis ...

4. Amyloid (mycology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_(mycology)

   In mycology a tissue or feature is said to be amyloid if it has a positive amyloid reaction when subjected to a crude chemical test using iodine as an ingredient of either Melzer's reagent or Lugol's solution, producing a blue to blue-black staining. The term "amyloid" is derived from the Latin amyloideus ("starch-like"). [1]

5. Staining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staining

   Used as a mordant in Gram's staining, iodine enhances the entrance of the dye through the pores present in the cell wall/membrane. Lugol's solution or Lugol's iodine (IKI) is a brown solution that turns black in the presence of starches and can be used as a cell stain, making the cell nuclei more visible. Used with common vinegar (acetic acid ...

6. Iodometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodometry

   The iodometric titration is a general method to determine the concentration of an oxidising agent in solution. In an iodometric titration, a starch solution is used as an indicator since it can absorb the I 2 that is released, visually indicating a positive iodine-starch test with a deep blue hue. This absorption will cause the solution to ...

7. Starch analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starch_analysis

   Starch analysis or starch grain analysis is a technique that is useful in archaeological research in determining plant taxa on a microscopic level. It can also be used in day-to-day life by specialists within the pharmaceutical and food industries in order to determine taxa origins and food quality. [ 1 ]

8. Iodine (medical use) - Wikipedia

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

   Tincture of iodine: iodine in ethanol, or iodine and sodium iodide in a mixture of ethanol and water. Lugol's iodine: iodine and iodide in water alone, forming mostly triiodide. Unlike tincture of iodine, Lugol's iodine has a minimised amount of the free iodine (I 2) component. Iodine glycerin, a preparation used in dentistry.

9. Potassium iodide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_iodide

   Unlike I 2, I − 3 salts can be highly water-soluble. Through this reaction, iodine is used in redox titrations. Aqueous KI 3 (Lugol's iodine) solution is used as a disinfectant and as an etchant for gold surfaces. Potassium iodide and silver nitrate are used to make silver(I) iodide, which is used for high speed photographic film and for ...
