Chlorophenol Red, Sodium Salt

Features:

• Sharp Visual Transition: Provides a distinct color change from yellow to violet over a narrow pH window (4.8 to 6.4), making it ideal for detecting slight acidification in bacterial fermentations
• Microbiological Utility: Frequently incorporated into agar and broth media to identify carbohydrate fermenting organisms by the resulting drop in pH
• Analytical Versatility: Used in spectrophotometry to measure enzyme kinetics or in industrial water testing where a mid-range acidic indicator is required
• Ready Solubility: Dissolves instantly in deionized water, reducing preparation time and eliminating organic solvent waste

Safety & Storage:

• Storage: Store at room temperature (15-30°C) in a tightly closed container. Keep in a dry, well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizing agents
• Handling: While generally considered a low-hazard chemical, always utilize standard Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including lab coat, safety glasses, and nitrile gloves to prevent staining of skin and clothing
• Stability: This sodium salt is stable under recommended storage conditions; avoid excessive heat and moisture
