Cresol Red Indicator Extra Pure

Primary Uses

  1. pH Indicator in Acid–Base Titrations 
    • Cresol Red is a sulfonphthalein dye used to indicate pH changes with a distinct color transition: 
      • Red in acidic (pH < 1.2) 
      • Yellow in weakly acidic to neutral (pH ~2–8.8) 
      • Purple in basic (pH > 8.8) 
    • Used in strong acid–strong base titrations and buffer solution testing. 
  2. Biochemical Buffer Marker 
    • Frequently used in molecular biology as a tracking dye during gel electrophoresis to monitor sample migration. 
  3. Teaching Tool in pH and Buffer Systems 
    • Common in chemistry education labs to visually demonstrate pH changes, buffer capacity, and acid-base equilibria. 
  4. Colorimetric pH Monitoring in Microplates or Solutions 
    • Suitable for high-throughput pH monitoring in microplate-based biochemical or microbial assays. 

Secondary Uses

  1. Dye for Protein and Nucleic Acid Electrophoresis 
    • Sometimes added to loading buffers as a visible tracking marker in agarose or polyacrylamide gels. 
  2. Component in Diagnostic Kits 
    • Used in biochemical test kits where pH shifts signal enzymatic or metabolic activity. 
  3. Model Compound for Dye Degradation Studies 
    • Serves as a test dye in photodegradation, ozonation, or advanced oxidation studies to track environmental dye breakdown. 
  4. Visual Endpoint Marker in Buffer Prep or CO₂ Testing 
    • Applied in experiments where a quick visual confirmation of CO₂ absorption (via pH shift) is needed.
