    The document provides recipes for making Lugol's solution using potassium iodide, iodine, distilled water, and acetic acid or sodium acetate. Lugol's solution is commonly used to preserve cyanobacteria and dinoflagellates for short-term storage of up to a year. The solution should be made and stored in dark bottles. Hazards are noted such as irritation if swallowed, breathed in or gets on skin or eyes. Those with pre-existing conditions like skin, eye or thyroid disorders may be more susceptible.

    Here is the recipe:

    Put 20g of Potassium iodide (KIO3)


    and 10g resumblimed Iodine (I2)
    into 200ml demineralized/distilled water
    with 20ml concentrated acetic acid (CH3COOH)
    and mix. It dissolves quite readily.

    A recipe for Lugol's Solution:


    10gm Potassium Iodide in 20mls distilled water,
    5gm Iodine twice sublimed in 50mls distilled water
    Stir to dissolve then add 5gms Sodium Acetate and continue to stir
    until dissolved. Combine and store in dark reagent bottles. Recipe
    may be doubled or tripled. Use approximately 1ml Lugol's /100ml's
    lake water and dinoflagellates preserve fine. Samples after killing should be
    preserved in 2% final concentration formaldehyde.

    Here is the recipe:


    20 gram potassium iodide
    10 gram iodine
    200 mL distilled water
    20 mL glacial acetic acid
    Replacing glacial acetic acid with sodium acetate makes the solution
    neutral or slightly basic; this allows preservation of Coccolithophores.

    Lugol's solution is commonly used for short-term (e.g. a few months, but
    possibly a year or more) storage of cyanobacteria. Dissolve one gram of iodine
    crystals and two grams of potassium iodide in 300 ml of water. Use three drops of
    this solution in a 100 ml sample (it should look like very weak tea).

    Hazards: Harmful if swallowed. May cause irritation. Avoid breathing vapors, or dusts. Use with
    adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothes. Wash thoroughly after handling.
    Keep container closed. Conditions aggravated/target organs: Persons with pre-existing skin, eye,
    thyroid, and respiratory disorders, as well as persons with iodine allergies, will be more susceptible.
    May cause skin and eye irritation. Conditions aggravated: Thyroid disorders,
