Lugol's Iodine is used as staining solution for wet mount & other Haematology staining.
Lugol's Iodine is intended to be used for the detection of intestinal protozoa and helminth ova or larvae in wet
mount preparations and concentration techniques. It is non- specific, rapid contrast dye that is added to direct wet
mounts of fecal material to aid in differentiating parasitic cysts from host white blood cells. Many protozoa and
cysts take up dye and appear brown while other objects in the sample remain clear.
