Methyl Red is a pH indicator commonly used in microbiology and chemistry. It turns red at a pH below 4.4 and yellow at a pH above 6.2, making it useful for detecting acidic environments. In microbiological tests, such as the methyl red test in the IMViC series, it’s used to determine whether an organism produces stable acid end-products from glucose fermentation. The color change indicates the acidity of the solution, helping to differentiate between various bacterial species.

Methyl Red

In the laboratory, Methyl Red is primarily used for:

  1. Microbiological Testing: It’s a key component in the Methyl Red (MR) test, which is part of the IMViC series used to differentiate enteric bacteria. The MR test assesses whether an organism can produce stable acids from glucose fermentation.
  2. pH Indicator: It helps determine the pH of solutions, particularly in acidic environments. This can be useful for various chemical and biological experiments where pH control is critical.
  3. Acid-Base Titrations: Methyl Red can be used as an indicator in acid-base titrations, especially in cases where a pH range between 4.4 and 6.2 is relevant.
  4. Quality Control: It assists in quality control processes where pH needs to be monitored closely to ensure consistency and safety in industrial processes.

When handling Methyl Red, consider the following safety precautions:

  1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear safety goggles, gloves, and a lab coat to protect your eyes, skin, and clothing from potential contact with the chemical.
  2. Ventilation: Work in a well-ventilated area or use a fume hood to avoid inhaling any fumes or dust.
  3. Avoid Ingestion and Inhalation: Do not ingest or inhale Methyl Red. If accidentally ingested or inhaled, seek medical attention immediately.
  4. Skin Contact: In case of skin contact, wash the affected area with plenty of water. Remove contaminated clothing and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
  5. Eye Contact: If the chemical gets into your eyes, flush them with water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention promptly.
  6. Storage: Store Methyl Red in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible substances. Ensure containers are properly labeled.
  7. Disposal: Dispose of Methyl Red waste according to local regulations and guidelines for hazardous chemicals. Do not pour it down the drain or mix with other waste unless instructed by proper disposal procedures.
