Product Overview
Neutral Red Powder, a renowned synthetic azine dye, is an indispensable reagent across diverse scientific disciplines. Celebrated for its distinct colorimetric properties, it functions as an exceptional pH indicator, exhibiting a vibrant red hue in acidic environments (pH 6.8 and below) and transitioning to an amber-yellow in alkaline conditions (pH 8.0 and above). This precise and predictable color shift makes it invaluable for accurate pH determinations and titration endpoints in various laboratory protocols. Beyond its role in pH measurement, Neutral Red is widely utilized as a vital biological stain. Its unique ability to passively diffuse into living cells and concentrate within lysosomes makes it a powerful tool for assessing cell viability, lysosomal integrity, and general tissue staining for microscopic examination. The superior quality of eqipped’s Neutral Red Powder ensures consistent and reproducible results for all your demanding applications. Manufactured under rigorous quality control standards, this laboratory-grade powder guarantees exceptional purity, minimizing impurities that could interfere with sensitive assays. Its fine powdered form ensures rapid dissolution, facilitating the preparation of stock solutions with ease and precision. This stable and reliable chemical reagent is essential for researchers, educators, and students seeking dependable performance in their analytical, microbiological, and cell culture studies, providing clarity and accuracy in every experiment.
FAQs
