Description

Phenol Red Sodium Salt CAS: 34487-61-1 | MF: C19H13NaO5S | MW: 376.36, Buy now for reliable and reproducible results from Tristains indicators.

Phenol Red Sodium Salt is a synthetic colorant that is obtained as a derivative of phenolphthalein and is extensively utilized as a pH indicator in the laboratory. It is a dark red crystalline powder and chemically referred to as phenolsulfonephthalein sodium salt. The compound is easily soluble in water and also in ethanol and ether, hence it can be utilized in both aqueous and organic systems. Having a molecular formula C19H13NaO5S, Phenol Red Sodium Salt presents characteristic changes of color depending on the conditions of the pH, where it becomes yellow in acidic conditions and red in basic conditions. It finds wide use as a pH indicator in several scientific and analytical processes due to these properties.

Applications

  • pH Indicator Applications: Typically, the pH is widely applied in the determination of acidity and alkalinity in laboratory reactions.
  • Cell Culture Media Monitoring: Often added to cell culture media to visually record and to maintain optimum pH levels.
  • Biological Staining Procedures: Applied in some biological staining procedures to provide improved visualisation of cell structures or biological activity.

Key features

  • Very precise when it comes to visual detection and pH change indication.
  • Multipurpose and stable, it can be used in aqueous media and organic media.
  • Economic solution that offers reproducible lab performance.
  • Effective color transition range suitable for physiological and chemical testing, appearing yellow below pH 6.8 and red above pH 8.2.

Phenol Red sodium salt is a water soluble pH indicator used in the 6.8 (yellow) to 8.2 (red) range. It is commonly employed in cell biology laboratories as a cell tissue culture pH marker. Under normal conditions, phenol red added to the growth medium will have a pink-red color. Usually 15 mg/l is used to produce this effect. If problems arise, such as dying cells or overgrowth of contaminants, this will cause a change in pH resulting in a change in indicator color. This color change is an indication that the medium needs to be replaced. Additionally, Phenol Red could potentially be useful as a differentiation factor.
