Thymoil Blue Extra Pure is a dual-range pH indicator and high-grade analytical reagent used extensively in laboratories for acid-base titrations, buffer preparation, and spectrophotometric measurements. It offers vivid and distinct color changes over two pH ranges, making it highly valuable for both quantitative analysis and educational demonstrations. This Extra Pure grade ensures minimal impurity and consistent behavior in sensitive experimental settings. Thymol Blue should be stored in a dry, cool, and dark environment to preserve its reactivity and accuracy.
Thymoil Blue Extra Pure
PRIMARY USES
- Analytical Reagent & Laboratory Applications
- Widely used as a pH indicator in titration and acid-base chemistry
