Phenol red exists as a red crystal that is stable in air. Its chemical formula is C19H14O5S. Phenol red is also known as phenolsulfonphthalein or PSP. Phenol red is a synthetic dye used as a pH indicator, which changes color based on the pH of the solution it is in. The color change from yellow in acidic conditions to red in neutral, and to pink/fuchsia in basic conditions, is more pronounced at this concentration, providing clear visual cues. At a 0.1% concentration, phenol red appears as a red liquid in neutral to slightly basic solutions. It is typically dissolved in water and used in a variety of scientific and industrial settings to monitor pH levels. Phenol red 0.1% solution is a higher concentration of the pH indicator dye phenol red. This concentration is particularly useful in applications requiring more sensitivity to pH changes.

Application :

• In cell culture media, phenol red at 0.1% is used to monitor pH changes. This higher concentration allows for more sensitive detection of pH fluctuations, helping to maintain optimal conditions for cell growth and metabolism.
• In microbiological media, phenol red helps differentiate bacterial species based on their metabolic byproducts, which alter the pH of the medium.
• This concentration is ideal for various biochemical assays that require precise pH monitoring, such as enzyme kinetics studies where pH can significantly affect enzyme activity.

Benefits :

• Provides enhanced sensitivity to pH changes
• Distinct color change
• Inexpensive and readily available
