Soluble Starch
Soluble Starch (Product Code: SCL352/076) is an analytical reagent grade starch used to prepare starch indicator for iodine titrations and to demonstrate the iodine test and enzyme digestion in school and college laboratories. It comes in a 200 g pack with an MSDS, a size that lets chemistry and biology teachers make up fresh indicator as needed. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a school lab equipment supplier in India.

What Is Soluble Starch Used For?
In chemistry, a freshly prepared starch solution is the indicator for iodometric titrations: it forms a deep blue-black complex with iodine, so the end point is easy to see. In biology practicals, students use starch solution as the substrate for amylase experiments, testing samples with iodine at intervals to follow how quickly the enzyme breaks it down.
To make indicator, mix a little starch to a paste with cold water, stir it into boiling water and let it cool before use. Prepare the solution fresh, since starch solutions spoil within days, and keep the dry powder in a closed container in a cool, dry place.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited operates as ScienceLab and supplies Soluble Starch from Ambala, Haryana, to schools, colleges and research laboratories. It is sourced along with iodine reagents, titration glassware and biology apparatus, so a department can cover a full practical on one quotation. More about the company is on the ScienceLab company profile.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Iodine titrations and enzyme practicals with starch commonly use these items:
- Potassium Iodine-Iodine Solution — reacts with starch to give the blue-black colour.
- Sodium Thiosulfate — the usual titrant in iodometric titrations.
- Iodine Flask — a stoppered flask for iodine titrations.
- Soluble Starch 100g — a smaller pack of the same reagent.
- Test Tube Racks — hold the tubes during amylase time-course tests.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pack size and grade is Soluble Starch?
Soluble Starch (SCL352/076) is an analytical reagent grade chemical in a 200 g pack. For smaller needs, a 100 g pack is listed separately on our site as Soluble Starch 100g.
How is Soluble Starch used as an indicator?
Soluble Starch is made into a fresh solution and added near the end of an iodine titration. Starch and iodine form a deep blue-black complex, so the colour appears or disappears sharply at the end point.
Can Soluble Starch be used for enzyme experiments?
Yes. A solution of Soluble Starch is a common substrate for amylase practicals in school biology. Students mix it with enzyme solution and test samples with iodine at set intervals to see when the blue-black colour stops forming.
What is the shelf life of Soluble Starch?
The shelf life of Soluble Starch depends on grade and storage, particularly humidity. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted; keep the powder dry, and prepare starch solutions fresh because they do not keep.
Does Soluble Starch come with an MSDS?
Yes. Soluble Starch comes with an MSDS giving handling, storage and disposal information. Keeping the sheet on file supports your laboratory's chemical register and routine safety checks, even for low-hazard reagents.
Who supplies Soluble Starch?
Soluble Starch is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers across India and international markets, together with iodine reagents and titration glassware.
