Product Overview

Lancer Soluble Starch is specially processed for full solubility in hot water, making it suitable for precise analytical and biological studies:

• Used as an indicator in iodine titrations, it produces a deep blue color upon complexing with free iodine, ensuring accurate endpoint detection in redox reactions.

• In enzyme activity experiments, it serves as a substrate for amylase studies, allowing observation of starch breakdown over time.

• Functions as a buffer medium or carbohydrate source in microbiological growth media, supporting bacterial and fungal culture conditions.

• Preferred in pharmaceutical and nutritional research for its stable molecular structure, solubility, and reproducible behavior across batches.

FAQs

1. What’s the difference between soluble starch and regular starch powder?
   Soluble starch dissolves fully in hot water, making it suitable for titrations and enzyme assays, unlike regular starch which forms a suspension.
2. How is it used in titration?
   As an iodine indicator, it forms a blue complex when iodine is present, helping detect the endpoint of redox titrations.
3. Can I use this for studying enzymatic activity?
   Yes, it is a standard substrate for amylase and similar enzyme reactions, providing clear, visual results.
4. What makes this suitable for microbiology media?
   Its carbohydrate content supports microbial growth, especially in selective or differential media compositions.
5. Why choose Lancer’s soluble starch?
   Lancer ensures consistent solubility, reagent-grade quality, and trusted performance for critical laboratory procedures.
