BIOLAB Lugol’s Iodine is a professional laboratory iodine reagent supplied in a 100 mL pack for validated microscopy, bacteriology and staining procedures where Lugol’s iodine is specified.
BIOLAB includes Lugol’s Iodine within its bacteriology-stain range and identifies the product for Gram & FVG staining and other laboratory applications.
Lugol’s iodine is an aqueous iodine-based laboratory solution traditionally prepared using iodine and potassium iodide. Exact concentration, composition and analytical specifications for the supplied BIOLAB batch must be taken from the current manufacturer label or technical documentation rather than assumed from generic Lugol formulations.
Professional laboratory use only. Specimen preparation, staining sequence, reagent exposure time, dilution where applicable, washing, microscopy, quality control and interpretation must follow the current BIOLAB instructions and the laboratory's validated SOP.

Lugol’s iodine is an aqueous iodine solution traditionally based on iodine and potassium iodide in water.
The potassium iodide helps iodine remain dissolved in the aqueous solution, producing an iodine-containing reagent suitable for a variety of professional laboratory applications.
However, Lugol formulations can differ between manufacturers and intended applications.
Do not assume that every Lugol’s iodine product has the same iodine concentration. Where reagent concentration is critical, use the current BIOLAB bottle label, package insert or Certificate of Analysis.
BIOLAB identifies Lugol’s Iodine for professional staining and bacteriology applications including:
The exact application, concentration and exposure time depend on the laboratory method being followed.
Iodine solutions are used as a mordant in conventional Gram-staining workflows.
In a typical Gram-stain sequence:
The iodine stage helps form and stabilise the primary dye–iodine complex within appropriately stained organisms.
Important: Do not automatically substitute Lugol’s iodine for a dedicated Gram’s Iodine reagent unless your laboratory SOP or BIOLAB instructions specifically permit that use. BIOLAB lists Gram’s Iodine and Lugol’s Iodine as separate products, even though Lugol’s Iodine may have Gram-staining applications.

| Product Identity | General iodine / potassium iodide laboratory reagent formulation | Dedicated Gram-staining iodine reagent |
| BIOLAB Lists Separately? | Yes | Yes |
| Gram-Stain Application | Manufacturer lists Gram staining among applications | Specifically intended for Gram staining |
| Interchangeable? | Do not assume interchangeability. Follow the exact validated staining procedure. | |
Iodine solutions can be useful in microscopy because iodine can increase contrast in selected biological structures.
Professional laboratory procedures may use iodine staining to help visualise structures that otherwise have limited contrast under bright-field microscopy.
For example, appropriately prepared iodine solutions have historically been used in wet-mount parasitology to enhance visualization of selected protozoan cyst structures.
Do not automatically use full-strength BIOLAB Lugol’s Iodine for stool wet mounts. Some parasitology methods require a specifically diluted iodine preparation, and the exact formulation must follow the validated laboratory SOP.
Lugol-type iodine solutions are used in certain professional parasitology microscopy methods for staining structures within protozoan cysts.
In appropriately prepared specimens, iodine staining can increase contrast of features such as:
However, strong iodine preparations may need to be diluted for some wet-mount methods.
The BIOLAB 100 mL product should therefore be used for parasitology only where your validated SOP specifies this product or an appropriate Lugol formulation and concentration.
Correct microscopy begins with an appropriately prepared specimen on a clean slide.

It is a professional iodine-based laboratory reagent from BIOLAB Diagnostics used in validated staining and microscopy procedures.
This Microsidd listing is for 100 mL.
BIOLAB’s analytical-stains catalogue identifies Lugol’s Iodine for Gram & FVG staining & other laboratory applications.
Traditional Lugol’s iodine is an aqueous iodine / potassium iodide solution. Exact concentration and composition of the current BIOLAB batch should be verified from the manufacturer label or technical documentation.
No. BIOLAB lists Lugol’s Iodine and Gram’s Iodine as separate products. Do not automatically substitute one for the other unless the applicable SOP or manufacturer instructions permit it.
BIOLAB identifies Gram staining among the applications of Lugol’s Iodine. Use the reagent according to the exact validated Gram-staining procedure used by your laboratory.
Iodine functions as a mordant, helping form and stabilise the primary dye–iodine complex before decolourisation.
Lugol-type iodine solutions are used in certain professional parasitology wet-mount procedures. However, some protocols require dilution of Lugol’s iodine, so use only the concentration and procedure specified by your laboratory SOP.
Do not assume so. Published parasitology methods may require diluted Lugol’s iodine. Follow the current validated laboratory protocol rather than using an arbitrary concentration.
No. Iodine staining can increase contrast of selected microscopic structures, but specimen preparation and identification require trained microscopy and validated laboratory procedures.
No. Microsidd does not assume a concentration for this BIOLAB SKU because the current public manufacturer page does not provide enough information to confirm it. Check the bottle label or manufacturer documentation.
No medicinal or oral use should be assumed from this laboratory listing. This product is listed for professional laboratory use.
No. A professional laboratory reagent should not be used as a nutritional or iodine supplement.
Do not assume this laboratory reagent is formulated or registered for topical antiseptic use. Use an appropriately approved product for clinical skin antisepsis.
Follow the exact storage conditions printed on the current BIOLAB bottle. Keep the container securely closed and protected from contamination and unsuitable storage conditions.
Use the batch-specific expiry date printed on the current bottle. Do not rely on expiry information from an older product photograph or another batch.
Professional laboratory reagents should not normally be used beyond the manufacturer’s labelled expiry date.
