Iodine Tincture Extra Pure is a high-quality antiseptic solution composed of elemental iodine dissolved in a mixture of alcohol and potassium iodide. It is widely used for disinfecting wounds, sterilizing skin before medical procedures, and as a laboratory reagent in various analytical and microbiological applications. Its fast-acting antimicrobial properties make it effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. In laboratory settings, it serves as a reliable indicator and staining agent. Due to its volatility and staining nature, the tincture should be handled with care and stored in tightly closed, amber-colored bottles to preserve stability and prevent degradation.

 

Description

Iodine Tincture Extra Pure

Primary Uses

  1. Antiseptic and Disinfectant Studies:
    Iodine tincture is commonly used in microbiology labs to study antimicrobial efficacy, particularly in surface sterilization and wound disinfection models. 
  2. Biological Staining:
    Used as a mordant or contrast agent in microscopic studies, especially for enhancing visibility of cell structures in plant and animal tissues. 
  3. Chemical Testing for Starch:
    Serves as a quick field reagent for starch detection, where the presence of starch turns the iodine solution deep blue-black. 

Secondary Uses

  1. Iodine Source in Redox Titrations (Iodometry):
    May serve as a readily available iodine source in some titration procedures when high-purity iodine is not required. 
  2. Educational Demonstrations and Experiments:
    Used in science education to demonstrate concepts such as diffusion through membranes, osmosis, or antiseptic action in practical biology and chemistry. 
  3. Preparation of Dilute Iodine Solutions:
    Acts as a stock solution for preparing various iodine-based reagents used in both analytical chemistry and biochemistry.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

  • Wear a lab coat, nitrile gloves, and safety goggles.
  • Use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood due to volatile solvents.

Handling:

  • Avoid skin and eye contact; iodine and alcohol can be irritating.
  • Prevent inhalation of vapors.
  • Wash hands thoroughly after use.
  • Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces—no smoking.

Storage:

  • Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space.
  • Keep away from light, heat, and incompatible substances (e.g. strong oxidizers).
  • Flammable—store away from ignition sources.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:

  • Move the person to fresh air.
  • Keep breathing comfortable for breathing.
  • Seek medical attention if respiratory irritation occurs.

Skin Contact:

  • Immediately wash with soap and water.
  • Remove contaminated clothing.
  • Seek medical advice if irritation develops or persists.

Eye Contact:

  • Rinse carefully with water for several minutes.
  • Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
  • Continue rinsing and seek medical help.

Ingestion:

  • Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting.
  • Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
  • Seek immediate medical attention.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flammability:

  • Highly flammable due to alcohol content.

Extinguishing Media:

  • Use CO₂, dry chemical powder, or alcohol-resistant foam.
  • Water spray can cool surfaces but may spread flammable liquids.

Hazardous Combustion Products:

  • Iodine vapors, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and irritating fumes.

Firefighter Protection:

  • Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
