Methyl Red Extra Pure is a high-grade pH indicator commonly used in analytical chemistry, especially in titration processes to identify the endpoint between acidic and basic solutions. It exhibits a clear color change from red in acidic environments (pH below 4.4) to yellow in alkaline conditions (pH above 6.2), making it ideal for monitoring pH transitions in laboratory procedures. Beyond titrations, it is also used in microbiological media to distinguish between types of bacterial metabolism. This extra pure quality ensures excellent sensitivity, precision, and reliability in both educational and professional scientific settings.
