Bromocresol green (BCG) sodium salt is another form of the bromocresol green indicator, but in a different chemical form. Its chemical formula is C21H13Br4NaO5S. Bromocresol green sodium salt is a sulfonate derivative of bromocresol green. It typically appears as a solid powder with a greenish-yellow color. In acidic conditions, it appears yellow, while in alkaline conditions, it turns blue. It is highly soluble in water, which is an advantage in aqueous-based applications. Bromocresol green sodium salt serves as an effective pH indicator in various applications in biochemical and analytical settings.

Application :

• Bromocresol green sodium salt is primarily used as a pH indicator.
• In biochemical assays and experiments, BCG sodium salt is commonly used to monitor pH changes during reactions, particularly in enzymatic assays, protein assays, and cell culture studies.
• It is mainly used for measuring serum albumin. In presence of acidic conditions, bromocresol green interacts with albumin, thereby resulting in an increase in absorbance at 630nm. The change in absorbance is linked with the concentration of albumin.
• It has been used as a pH indicator for glutamate decarboxylase activity assay in Listeria monocytogenes strains.

Benefits :

• Highly soluble in water
• Exhibits a sharp and distinct color change
• Stable and easy handling
