The Titration Iodine Flask is a specialized laboratory flask used for iodometric titration, iodine determination, and analytical procedures involving iodine-containing solutions. It is intended for chemistry, pharmaceutical, food-testing, research, educational, and quality-control laboratories where limiting iodine loss during reaction and titration supports reliable analytical work.
Product Description
The STEMAids Titration Iodine Flask is designed for analytical procedures in which iodine is generated, retained, or titrated. Unlike an ordinary open conical flask, an iodine flask typically uses a close-fitting stopper to reduce the escape of volatile iodine during reaction, standing, or mixing.
The flask is commonly used for iodometric analysis and iodine-value determination when specified by the applicable method. Exact STEMAids capacity, glass grade, stopper joint, funnel-cup configuration, dimensions, and thermal specification are [confirm].

Key Features
- Designed for iodine analysis: Suitable for iodometric titration and iodine-determination procedures.
- Stoppered configuration: Helps reduce loss of volatile iodine during reaction and handling.
- Suitable for titration workflows: Conical vessel geometry supports controlled swirling and reagent mixing.
- Clear glass construction: Allows direct observation of solution colour changes during analytical procedures.
- Reusable laboratory format: Can be cleaned and reused when compatible with the chemicals and confirmed glass specification.
- Useful for iodine-value testing: Appropriate where the selected analytical method specifies an iodine flask.
- Critical specifications: Capacity, glass grade, joint size, stopper design, and thermal resistance are [confirm].

How to Use the Titration Iodine Flask
- Inspect the flask and stopper for cracks, chips, contamination, or damaged sealing surfaces.
- Add the sample and reagents in the quantities specified by the analytical method.
- Insert the stopper when the procedure requires the reaction mixture to remain enclosed.
- Mix the contents carefully using controlled swirling.
- Allow the specified reaction time while protecting the sample from unsuitable light or environmental exposure if required by the method.
- Remove the stopper carefully and add any required dilution liquid or indicator.
- Titrate with the specified standard solution until the prescribed endpoint is reached.
- Record the titrant volume and calculate the result according to the applicable analytical procedure.
Safety note: Iodine vapour is irritating and laboratory reagents used in iodometric procedures may present additional hazards. Work with appropriate ventilation and PPE, and follow the applicable chemical safety documentation. Do not heat the flask unless its confirmed glass specification and method permit heating.
Care & Maintenance
- Clean the flask promptly after use to prevent iodine or reagent residues from staining the glass.
- Clean the stopper and ground-joint surfaces carefully and keep them free from deposits.
- Inspect the flask and stopper for chips or cracks before every analytical procedure.
- Store the flask with the stopper protected against impact and avoid forcing a stuck ground-glass joint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Titration Iodine Flask used for?
A Titration Iodine Flask is used for iodometric titration, iodine determination, and related analytical procedures where iodine must be retained during reaction and measurement.
Why does an iodine flask have a stopper?
The stopper helps limit the escape of volatile iodine from the reaction mixture. This is important because iodine loss can affect quantitative analytical results.
Can an iodine flask be used for iodine-value determination?
Yes. Iodine flasks are commonly used in iodine-value determination procedures for oils and fats when specified by the relevant analytical method.
Is an iodine flask the same as an Erlenmeyer flask?
No. Although both commonly have a conical body, an iodine flask has a specialized stoppered neck arrangement intended for analytical procedures involving iodine.
What glass is the STEMAids Titration Iodine Flask made from?
The product is made from glass, but the exact glass grade is [confirm]. Borosilicate 3.3 or another specific composition should not be claimed until verified.
What capacity is the STEMAids Iodine Flask?
The exact nominal capacity is [confirm]. Iodine flasks are commercially available in several capacities, so the STEMAids model should be verified before publishing a volume specification.
