-
Produced and packaged upon receipt of order, ensuring that solution retains maximum viability and that rubber dropper bulb remains supple throughout life of product (Lugol's stored long-term gradually loses strength through off-gassing, and bottles stored in external sleeves or boxes are prone to cracking rubber dropper bulbs).

Application
-
For aquaculture and research use, only.
-
Lugol's solution in this formulation is a decades-old proven effective means of iodine and iodide supplementation in recirculating marine ecosystems, particularly systems such as reef aquaria and coral farming operations.
