Product Code : SCL-CA-12675
Iodine Crystals laboratory reagent is elemental iodine used for supervised sublimation demonstrations, iodine-solution preparation and oxidation-reduction experiments. It is intended for trained laboratory technicians, chemistry teachers, researchers and students working under direct supervision. Its distinctive dark crystals and violet vapour provide clear visual evidence of physical and chemical change.
Product Description
Iodine is a halogen element with the chemical symbol I and the molecular formula I2. At room temperature, it normally appears as dark grey to violet-black crystals with a metallic lustre. Iodine can sublime directly from a solid into violet vapour, so it requires controlled handling and effective ventilation.
Iodine Crystals can support practical work involving halogens, redox reactions, starch testing and solution preparation. The product’s capacity, purity, reagent grade and analytical limits must be confirmed before use. Related apparatus is available in the chemistry laboratory equipment range and chemical analysis equipment category.
Key Features
- Elemental iodine: The reagent has the molecular formula I2.
- Distinctive crystalline form: Iodine normally appears as dark grey to violet-black crystals.
- Visible sublimation: Gentle warming produces violet iodine vapour for controlled demonstrations.
- Redox reagent: Iodine participates in approved oxidation-reduction reactions.
- Indicator applications: It can be used to prepare iodine solutions for starch-related tests.
- Specification-based supply: Pack size, purity and grade should be verified before ordering.
- Controlled laboratory use: Iodine vapour requires suitable ventilation and protective equipment.

How to Use Iodine Crystals
- Read the product label, Safety Data Sheet and experimental procedure.
- Work inside an operational fume hood or approved ventilated enclosure.
- Wear suitable gloves, protective eyewear and laboratory clothing.
- Measure the required quantity with a clean, dry spatula and balance.
- Use the crystals only as directed by the approved laboratory method.
- Keep vessels covered where the procedure permits to limit vapour release.
- Return the cap immediately after dispensing and label prepared solutions.
- Collect residues through the institution’s chemical-waste system.
Safety note: Iodine vapour irritates the respiratory system, eyes and skin. Avoid inhalation and direct contact. Do not heat iodine in an open classroom or permit unsupervised student handling.
Care & Maintenance
- Store the container tightly closed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated chemical-storage area.
- Protect it from heat, direct sunlight and incompatible substances identified in the Safety Data Sheet.
- Use clean, dry tools and never return unused crystals to the original container.
- Inspect the cap, label and container before every use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are Iodine Crystals used for?
Iodine Crystals are used in supervised sublimation, redox, halogen and starch-detection experiments. They may also be used to prepare iodine solutions when specified by an approved method.
What is the formula of iodine crystals?
Elemental iodine has the molecular formula I2. Each molecule contains two iodine atoms.
Why do iodine crystals produce violet vapour?
Iodine can sublime, changing directly from a solid into vapour. The resulting iodine vapour has a characteristic violet colour.
Are iodine crystals soluble in water?
Elemental iodine has limited solubility in water. Approved formulations often use an iodide-containing solution to improve iodine dissolution.
Can iodine crystals be used in schools?
They may be used only in a properly equipped laboratory under direct supervision. An operational fume hood, suitable personal protective equipment and controlled quantities are required.
Is a Certificate of Analysis supplied?
The availability of a Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet must be confirmed before ordering. State the required pack size, purity, grade and documentation in the enquiry.
