Methyl Red 0.1%

Methyl Red 0.1%, Buy now Ready to use Indicator solution for reliable and Reproducible results from Tristains indicators.

Methyl Red is a maroon red crystal azo dye. Methyl red 0.1% solution is a more concentrated version of the pH indicator methyl red, dissolved in a suitable solvent such as water or methanol. Methyl red, an azo dye with the chemical formula C15H15N3O2, exhibits a distinct color change from red to yellow over a pH range of 4.4 to 6.2. This concentration allows for more intense color changes, making it suitable for specific analytical and industrial applications where a more concentrated indicator is beneficial. Methyl red 0.1% solution is a highly effective and versatile pH indicator, providing clear and intense color changes that facilitate precise pH measurements. Its applications span from acid-base titrations and microbiological testing to water quality analysis and industrial manufacturing.
