Iodine - Potassium Iodit Solution
The iodine-potassium iodide reagent solution is a versatile solution used in various fields of life sciences, medical diagnostics and histology. Of particular note is its use in iodine assay for the identification of starch, an important detection method in analytical chemistry and microbiology.
The special suitability of the solution lies in its ability to selectively detect and quantify starch in samples. This is of great importance in the study of metabolic processes, enzymatic reactions and the characterization of plant tissues.
The chemical properties of the iodine-potassium iodide reagent solution are based on the formation of a triiodide ion (I3-) by the reaction of iodine and potassium iodide in water. The triiodide ion has the characteristic ability to interact with starch molecules and produce an intense blue-black coloration.
The operation of the iodine-potassium iodide reagent solution is based on the specific interaction of the triiodide ion with the helical structure of starch. This interaction leads to the formation of a so-called inclusion complex and causes the characteristic coloration. The intensity of the coloration can be used to semi-quantitatively determine starch contents in samples, making the solution an indispensable tool in many scientific disciplines.
