Product Overview
Phenol Red Indicator Solution 0.02% is a meticulously prepared, high-quality reagent designed for a wide array of laboratory applications requiring precise pH determination. This indicator solution is crucial in analytical chemistry for performing accurate acid-base titrations, where its distinct color changes provide clear visual endpoints. At acidic pH values (below 6.8), Phenol Red appears yellow, transitioning through orange as the pH approaches neutral, and exhibiting a vibrant red/pink color in alkaline conditions (above 8.2). Its narrow and well-defined pH range for color transition makes it an invaluable tool for discerning subtle shifts in hydrogen ion concentration. Beyond titrations, this 0.02% solution finds significant utility in biological laboratories, particularly for monitoring the pH of cell culture media. Maintaining an optimal pH is paramount for cell viability and growth, and Phenol Red serves as a reliable visual cue, turning yellow if the medium becomes too acidic due to metabolic byproducts, or purplish-red if it becomes too alkaline. Our Phenol Red Indicator Solution is manufactured to stringent quality standards, ensuring high purity and consistent performance across batches. This reliability is vital for reproducible experimental results and maintaining integrity in research. Its stable formulation guarantees a long shelf life, making it a dependable addition to any laboratory setting. Ideal for students, researchers, and educators, this solution provides a clear, efficient, and cost-effective method for essential pH measurements.
