Modified, ≤2.1% Iodine in 4.2% w/v Potassium Iodide – DEA-Compliant Reagent for Staining and Analytical Use
Product Overview
Modified Lugol’s Iodine Solution is a reformulated version of the classic iodine-potassium iodide reagent, specifically designed to contain ≤2.1% elemental iodine, ensuring DEA regulatory compliance while preserving its effectiveness in a wide range of laboratory, diagnostic, and educational applications.
This aqueous solution is commonly used as a mordant in Gram staining, enhancing the binding of crystal violet to bacterial cell walls. It also serves as a starch indicator, protozoan fixative, and cytoplasmic stain in clinical and microbiological examinations. Despite the reduced iodine concentration, this formulation provides consistent staining performance and contrast, making it suitable for routine microscopy and qualitative analysis.
Key Features:
- Reformulated to contain ≤2.1% elemental iodine – meets DEA exemption limits
- Functions as a mordant in Gram stain protocols
- Used in starch tests, protozoan detection, and general biological staining
- Delivers clear staining and visualization of cellular structures
- Ideal for microbiology, parasitology, histology, and academic labs
- Available in ready-to-use format for convenience and regulatory peace of mind
Modified Lugol’s Iodine (≤2.1%) provides a safe, compliant, and effective alternative to traditional iodine solutions, allowing labs to maintain diagnostic quality without additional regulatory burdens.
