Silver iodide is an inorganic compound with the formula AgI. It is used as a photosensitive agent in photography, as a local antiseptic, as a chemical intermediate, and in cloud seeding for rain-making. The major hazards encountered in the use and handling of silver iodide stem from its toxicologic properties. Effects from exposure may include skin rashes, conjunctivitis, argyria (a permanent ashen-gray discoloration of skin, conjunctiva, and internal organs), headache, fever, hypersensitivity, laryngitis, and bronchitis.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Topical as a 1:80 dilution (30 ppm ionic silver).

Route of Administration: Topical

In Vitro Use Guide

10 mkl volume of undiluted human norovirus 20% faecal suspension was mixed with 90 mkl of SDC (Silver Dihydrogen Citrate) for various contact times (15, 30, 60, 120, 300, 600 and 1800 s). At each sampling time point, 20 mkl of this solution was added to 180 mkl of 10% solution of Dey/Engley (D/E) neutralizing broth (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Samples were aliquoted and frozen at -80°C prior to nucleic acid extraction.
