Beschreibung
Potassium iodide and starch solution is a pharmacopoeia-quality laboratory reagent (Reag. Ph. Eur., Chapter 4.1.1, 1070501) presenting empirical formula KI and molar mass 166,00 g/mol. The preparation combines potassium iodide with starch as specified for European Pharmacopoeia reagents in Chapter 4.1.1 under reference 1070501. It is supplied in a 100 ml pack for analytical laboratories that apply pharmacopoeial methods calling for this named reagent. Density is approximately 1 g/cm³ and the boiling point is 100 °C. This solution from manufacturer Carl ROTH is intended for documented Ph. Eur. workflows, including monograph-related tests that list potassium iodide and starch solution among the reagents of Chapter 4.1.1. The stated molar mass corresponds to potassium iodide (KI), supporting identity checks at goods receipt together with the Reag. Ph. Eur. designation. Laboratories can incorporate the ready-prepared reagent into quality-controlled procedures without changing the published pharmacopoeial name or chapter assignment. Physical properties and the 100 ml unit size should be recorded in laboratory inventory systems alongside the Ph. Eur. reference 1070501. Use in accordance with the relevant pharmacopoeial texts and laboratory practice.
