FAQs
1. What is Starch Soluble SQ primarily used for in laboratories?
Starch Soluble SQ is predominantly used as an indicator in iodometric and iodimetric titrations, where it forms a characteristic blue-black complex with iodine, signaling the endpoint of the reaction. It is also employed in general iodine tests and enzyme activity assays.
2. How should Starch Soluble SQ be stored for optimal shelf life?
For optimal shelf life and to prevent degradation, Starch Soluble SQ should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to maintain its quality.
3. Is this Starch Soluble suitable for all types of titrations?
Starch Soluble SQ is specifically designed for use in titrations involving iodine, such as iodometric and iodimetric methods. It is not a universal indicator and may not be suitable for other types of titrations that do not involve iodine reactions.
4. What distinguishes SQ grade soluble starch from other grades?
SQ (Soluble Quality) grade indicates that the starch has been processed to achieve high solubility and purity, making it ideal for sensitive analytical applications where clarity of solution and reliable indicator performance are crucial. This ensures minimal interference from impurities during experiments.
5. Can Starch Soluble SQ be used for determining amylase activity?
Yes, Starch Soluble SQ is an excellent substrate for determining amylase activity. The enzyme hydrolyzes the starch, and the decrease in the starch-iodine complex formation can be measured spectrophotometrically or visually to quantify enzyme activity.
