What I might be in a lab? (6)

I believe the answer is:

iodine

(Other definitions for iodine that I've seen before include "Mother-of-pearl" , "Mild antiseptic" , "Dark-violet antiseptic" , "Disinfectant made from seaweed" , "Black crystalline element" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
