The sensitivity of ethanol solution can be significantly reduced due to the esterification of carboxyl groups after long-term storage. Appearance: shiny purple crystalline or red-brown powder Melting Point: 179-182°C methyl red is a chestnut red crystalline azo dye. Methyl red is a pH indicator that changes color at pH 5.5. Methyl red is widely used in saliva sampling methods. In addition, it is also used for carbohydrate and lactic acid detection. Methyl red has been used effectively for the internal differentiation of the Enterobacteriaceae. |

use | methyl red is one of the commonly used acid-base indicators. the normal concentration is 0.1% ethanol solution, pH4.4 (red)-6.2 (yellow). It is also used for in vivo staining of protozoa. in vivo staining of protozoa; acid-base indicator, pH color change range 4.4 (red) ~ 6.2 (yellow); titration of ammonia, weak organic bases and alkaloids, but not applicable to organic acids other than oxalic acid and picric acid; it can be mixed with bromocresol green and methylene blue to shorten the color change gamut and improve the sensitivity of color change; adsorption indicator for precipitation titration, such as titration of fluoride ions with thorium nitrate; determination of free chlorine, chlorite and other oxidants protozoa in vivo staining, acid-base indicator (pH 4.4 to 6.2), clinical serum protein biochemical test. The pH color change range is 4.4 (red)-6.2 (yellow). Titration of ammonia, weak organic bases and alkaloids, but not for organic acids other than oxalic acid and picric acid. The indicator can be mixed with bromocresol green and methylene blue to shorten the color gamut and improve the sensitivity of color change. Adsorption indicator for precipitation titration, such as fluoride ion titration with thorium nitrate. Verification of oxidants such as free chlorine and chlorite. |
Production method | is obtained by diazotization of anthranilic acid and reaction with N,N-dimethylaniline. |
