Potassium Iodide (KI)

Potassium Iodide (KI)

Laboratory-Grade Inorganic Iodide Reagent

Catalog Number: ASC-1068
CAS Number: 7681-11-0

Overview

Potassium Iodide (KI) is a high-purity inorganic salt supplied as a white crystalline powder and widely used as a source of iodide ions in laboratory and research applications. Due to its excellent solubility in water and well-defined chemical behaviour, KI is commonly employed in analytical chemistry, chemical synthesis, and microscopy workflows.

Ausamics Potassium Iodide is supplied in laboratory (analytical) grade quality, ensuring consistent purity and reliable performance for routine and specialised laboratory use.
