Frequent Uses

Microscopy

Commonly used for staining biological samples, particularly for starch detection (turns blue-black), glycogen, and certain cell wall structures in fungi and bacteria.

Chemical Analysis

In analytical chemistry, it is used in iodine titrations to determine the presence and concentration of reducing agents, particularly in redox reactions.

Water Purification

Can be used in emergency situations to purify water by killing bacteria and pathogens, though this application is more common for iodine tinctures or solutions with higher concentrations.

Staining in Microbiology and Histology

Essential for histological work, it stains plant and fungal tissues to enhance cell visibility under the microscope, often used in botanical studies or to differentiate between various tissue types.
