About Iodoform, BP/DAB/USP/NF Grade
Iodoform is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CHI3. It is a yellow, crystalline solid with a distinct odor and is often used as a disinfectant and antiseptic. Iodoform has several applications in the field of medicine and chemistry:
Iodoform, BP/DAB/USP/NF Grade, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CHI3. It’s a yellow, crystalline solid with a distinct odor, and chemists know it best as a reagent in organic chemistry. The grade is right there in the title, so you know exactly what you’re ordering. Paperwork comes with it too. The Product Manuals section holds the Safety Data Sheet, a Technical Data Sheet, a country of origin document, and statements on allergens, BPA, PFAS and PFOS, irradiation, TSE and BSE, and animal testing. Certificates of Analysis are listed lot by lot on the same page. You can read them before you order.
Most people reach for iodoform in organic chemistry, where it’s the compound behind the iodoform test, a classic check for the CH3CO group. It also turns up in pharmaceutical and laboratory work. The trouble is finding a supplier that gives you the paperwork upfront and a size that fits the job. That’s where we come in. You’ll find sizes from 500g up to 25kg, with the Safety Data Sheet and Certificates of Analysis available online. Pick the size you need, set up Autoship if you reorder, or request a quote for larger volumes. Lab Alley keeps it simple: on budget, on time, every time. Ready to order?

Q: What is iodoform used for?
A: Iodoform is mainly used as a reagent in organic chemistry, including the iodoform test that checks for the CH3CO group. It also supports pharmaceutical and laboratory work. For a closer look, read our Iodoform Overview.Q: What does BP/DAB/USP/NF grade mean, and is it suitable for lab reagent use?
A: Those are pharmacopoeial grade names shown in the product title. Whether it fits your method depends on your own requirements, so check the Technical Data Sheet and the Certificates of Analysis first.Q: What sizes are available, and does it ship as hazmat?
A: You can choose 500g, 1kg, 2.5kg, 12.5kg or 25kg. This page doesn’t list a DOT shipping classification, so check the transport section of the Safety Data Sheet or ask us before you order.Q: How do I get the SDS and Certificate of Analysis?
A: Both are on this page. The Safety Data Sheet is in Business Support and Product Manuals, and the Certificates of Analysis are listed lot by lot in their own tab.Q: How should iodoform be stored?
A: Our How to Store Iodoform guide walks through it. The Safety Data Sheet also covers handling and storage for this product.Q: Does Lab Alley offer Autoship for iodoform?
A: Yes. Autoship is available on this product, so you can set a repeat schedule instead of reordering by hand.Q: Can I get a quote for a larger order?
A: Yes. Send your details through our quote request form and we’ll get back to you.
