Description

Polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine complex is used as a slow iodine release formulation that iodinates lipids and oxidizes cell compounds such as tyrosine side chains. It is utilized to study microbial decontamination of human donor eyes as well as inactivation of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus. It is also used as a carbon nanotube coating agent to enhance water solubility. It serves as a topical antiseptic in surgery, as an aerosol for skin and mucous membrane infections and is used to prevent infection in wounds. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
