Ready-to-use reagent. Prepared with ACS reagent grade Potato Starch; Stabilized with Salicylic Acid and high purity water. Suitable for laboratory use.
Product Overview
Potato Starch Indicator is a classic reagent used for the detection of iodine, commonly employed in iodometric titrations. When iodine is present in solution, it forms a deep blue complex with starch, signaling the endpoint of the titration with high sensitivity and contrast.
This stabilized formulation includes salicylic acid as an antimicrobial agent, which helps preserve the integrity and clarity of the starch solution over time by preventing microbial growth and degradation. The addition of salicylic acid extends shelf life without interfering with the starch-iodine reaction, making the reagent more reliable for routine use.
Key Features:
- Forms a deep blue complex with iodine for clear endpoint detection
- Stabilized with salicylic acid to prevent microbial spoilage
- Ideal for iodometric titrations and iodine detection in solution
- Maintains clarity and consistency over extended storage
- Available in ready-to-use or concentrated formats
Applications:
- Iodometric titrations in pharmaceutical and food analysis
- Detection of residual iodine in water purification systems
- Analytical chemistry and redox studies
- Educational demonstrations of starch-iodine interactions
- Quality control in labs requiring long-term reagent stability
This stabilized Potato Starch Indicator provides dependable performance and extended usability, making it a valuable tool for laboratories engaged in iodine analysis and redox chemistry.
