Cresol Purple Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

green crystalline powder

Uses

Acid-base indicator.

Uses

m-Cresol Purple acts as a pH indicator dye. It plays an important role in spectrophotometric pH measurements. It operates in the pH ranges 1.2 - 2.8 (red to yellow) and 7.4 - 9.0 (yellow to violet). Further, it is employed to stain epithelial cells and proteins.

Biochem/physiol Actions

m-Cresol purple is a pH indicator. It changes from red (pH 1.2) to yellow (2.8) and yellow (7.4) to purple (9.0).
