Iodised Salt Extra Pure is a refined form of sodium chloride enriched with a precise amount of iodine, typically in the form of potassium iodate or iodide. It is primarily used to prevent iodine deficiency disorders, making it essential in nutritional and public health applications. Beyond its dietary use, iodised salt also serves in laboratory settings for controlled experiments involving iodine content and salt solubility studies. Its high purity ensures minimal contamination, making it suitable for analytical and pharmaceutical applications where quality and consistency are critical. Proper storage in airtight containers is recommended to prevent iodine loss due to air exposure.
Iodised Salt Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- Iodine Supplementation Studies:
Used in nutrition and biochemistry labs to analyze the impact of iodine fortification in dietary salt, especially for studying thyroid function and iodine deficiency disorders. - Analytical Chemistry (Iodine Detection):
Serves as a model sample for validating iodometric and colorimetric assays that detect iodine or iodide content in fortified food products. - Educational Demonstrations:
Common in school or undergraduate experiments to demonstrate trace element fortification, nutrient absorption, and simple extraction of iodine.
Secondary Uses
- Quality Control Testing:
Used in laboratories involved in food safety and standards testing to monitor iodine concentration, salt purity, and compliance with fortification guidelines. - Research on Iodine Stability:
Studied in relation to the effect of storage, heat, and humidity on the stability of iodised compounds over time. - Microbiological Media Preparation (Non-standard):
Occasionally used where salt is a required component and iodised variants are under evaluation for microbial impact, although plain sodium chloride is more typical.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Wear a lab coat, gloves, and safety goggles.
- Use a dust mask if working with large quantities in powder form.
Handling:
- Avoid generating dust.
- Prevent contact with eyes.
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
- Use in a well-ventilated area.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place.
- Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
- Protect from direct sunlight and incompatible materials such as strong acids.
FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation:
- Move to fresh air.
- Seek medical attention if coughing or irritation develops.
Skin Contact:
- Wash with soap and water.
- Seek medical advice if irritation occurs.
Eye Contact:
- Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.
- Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
- Continue rinsing and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion:
- Rinse mouth with water.
- Iodised salt is generally safe in small amounts; seek medical advice if large quantities are consumed or if symptoms develop.
