Bicarbonate Indicator

Whatsapp Order

Bicarbonate Indicator is a specialized liquid reagent formulated to visually signal changes in bicarbonate concentration, typically through colorimetric shifts in response to pH variations. It is commonly used in laboratory analyses of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate buffering systems, especially in biological, environmental, and chemical experiments. This indicator provides immediate visual cues for acid-base reactions involving bicarbonate ions, making it essential for studies in respiratory physiology, water quality testing, and biochemical buffering systems.
