Product Overview
Iodophor LR is a premium-grade disinfectant solution formulated for laboratory and research applications requiring high-level sterilization. This iodine-based solution combines the potent antimicrobial properties of iodine with a stabilized carrier system to ensure prolonged efficacy and reduced irritation. The LR (Laboratory Reagent) grade guarantees consistent purity and performance, making it suitable for critical disinfection tasks where reliability is paramount. The solution effectively targets a wide spectrum of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores, without leaving harmful residues that could interfere with sensitive experiments. Its balanced pH and controlled iodine release mechanism prevent equipment corrosion while maintaining optimal antimicrobial activity. Whether used for surface decontamination, instrument sterilization, or general lab hygiene, Iodophor LR delivers rapid action with minimal contact time. The 5-liter packaging provides cost-effective bulk supply for frequent users, while the stable formulation ensures long shelf life when stored properly. This versatile disinfectant is compatible with most lab materials, including glass, stainless steel, and common plastics, though compatibility testing is recommended for specialized equipment.
FAQs
1. What is the active concentration of iodine in Iodophor LR?
The solution contains 1% titratable iodine, which provides the primary antimicrobial action while remaining gentle on most lab surfaces.
2. Can this be used for disinfecting electronic lab equipment?
While effective against microorganisms, Iodophor LR should not be applied directly to electronic components. Use alcohol-based wipes for electronics and reserve this solution for non-sensitive surfaces.
3. How does the LR grade differ from technical-grade iodophors?
LR grade ensures higher purity with lower heavy metal content and tighter pH control, making it safer for sensitive applications compared to technical-grade alternatives.
4. What’s the recommended contact time for effective disinfection?
A minimum contact time of 5 minutes is recommended for most microorganisms, though sporicidal activity may require up to 30 minutes depending on conditions.
5. Does this solution require dilution before use?
Iodophor LR is ready-to-use at the supplied concentration. Dilution may reduce efficacy unless specified for particular applications.
