Methyl Red is a maroon red crystal azo dye with the chemical formula C15H15N3O2. Methyl red is an azo dye, commonly used as a pH indicator in laboratory settings. It is soluble in water, forming a solution that is used in various chemical and microbiological applications. A 0.2% methyl red solution consists of 0.2 grams of methyl red dissolved in 100 milliliters of solvent, typically water or ethanol. Methyl red changes color from red in acidic solutions (pH < 4.4) to yellow in neutral to basic solutions (pH > 6.2). A 0.2% methyl red solution is a versatile and reliable indicator for pH measurement and is essential in microbiological testing, particularly in differentiating bacterial species based on their metabolic processes.
