Litmus Granular Extra Pure is a premium-grade pH indicator widely used in laboratories for acid-base testing and educational demonstrations. Derived from natural sources like lichens, this granular form offers a stable, easy-to-handle format suitable for preparing litmus solutions or impregnating test papers. In acidic environments, it turns red, while in alkaline conditions, it turns blue, providing a clear visual response. Its high purity ensures reliable and repeatable results across various applications in chemistry, biology, and environmental testing. Store in a tightly sealed container away from moisture and direct sunlight to preserve its effectiveness.

Description

Litmus Granular Extra Pure

Primary Uses

  1. Acid-Base Indicator:
    • Primarily used as a pH indicator to distinguish between acidic (red) and alkaline (blue) environments in solution.
  2. Qualitative pH Testing:
    • Common in laboratories for quick identification of pH conditions in various chemical and biological samples.

Secondary Uses

  1. Educational Demonstrations:
    • Widely used in schools and universities for teaching pH concepts and acid-base reactions.
  2. Buffer Solution Testing:
    • Occasionally used to test the efficacy of buffer solutions during formulation and stability studies.
  3. Environmental Sampling:
    • Applied in field kits for soil and water pH testing where precise digital meters are not available.

  • Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
  • Protect from moisture and strong acids or alkalis.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:

  • Move the person to fresh air.
  • Seek medical attention if any respiratory discomfort occurs.

Skin Contact:

  • Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
  • Remove and wash contaminated clothing.
  • Seek medical attention if irritation develops.

Eye Contact:

  • Rinse cautiously with plenty of water for several minutes.
  • Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
  • Continue rinsing and consult a medical professional if irritation persists.

Ingestion:

  • Rinse mouth with water.
  • Do not induce vomiting.
  • Seek medical attention if symptoms develop.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
