Frequent Uses

Disinfectant

Lugol's Iodine is widely recognised for its antiseptic properties, making it an effective disinfectant for minor wounds and skin abrasions.

Gram Staining

In the process of gram staining, Lugol's Iodine acts as a mordant after the crystal violet dye is applied. It forms a complex with crystal violet, stabilising the dye within the cells. This step is crucial for differentiating between bacteria.

Medical Imaging

Lugol's Iodine serves as a contrast agent in certain diagnostic procedures. It enhances the visibility of internal structures during imaging studies like X-rays or CT scans.

Water Purification

Lugol's Iodine can be used to purify water. By adding a few drops to contaminated water, it effectively kills bacteria and viruses.
