Description
Potassium Iodide (Starch) Test Paper Strips are designed for the detection of oxidising agents including free iodine, chlorine, and peroxides in solution. These strips provide a clear visual indication through a colour change reaction, making them suitable for laboratory testing, water treatment monitoring, and educational chemistry applications. Lower concentrations react at approximately 5 to 10 ppm, allowing early detection of oxidising species in various sample types.
Chlorine and peroxides react immediately on contact, while iodine typically requires around 60 seconds to develop a visible response. Initial detection produces a light blue colour, progressing to dark blue or purple as concentration increases. The upper detection range is approximately 400 to 450 ppm for chlorine and peroxides, and 50 to 100 ppm for iodine. LabChoice Australia supplies these potassium iodide starch test papers as a reliable and efficient solution for rapid oxidant screening in laboratory and field environments.
