High Purity Cresol Purple CAS 2303017 China Suppliers and Factory
Cresol Purple is a high-precision sulfonephthalein dye specifically engineered for use as a pH indicator in rigorous laboratory and industrial environments. As a versatile chemical agent, it exhibits distinct color transitions based on the acidity or alkalinity of the solution, making it an indispensable tool for accurate pH monitoring, titration, and biochemical analysis.
Primarily available as m-Cresol Purple, this chemical offers exceptional sensitivity and sharp transition points. Its ability to protonate and deprotonate in response to pH shifts allows scientists to identify neutralization endpoints and monitor metabolic activity in microbial culture media with absolute confidence and precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cresol Purple is primarily used as a pH indicator in titrations and as a critical component in microbial culture media to detect acid production during carbohydrate fermentation tests.
They differ in their transition ranges. m-Cresol Purple is effective in highly acidic and alkaline ranges, while Bromocresol Purple is ideal for near-neutral shifts (pH 5.2 to 6.8).
The color change is caused by the protonation and deprotonation of the sulfonephthalein structure in response to the hydrogen ion concentration (pH) of the environment.
It is soluble in ethanol, which is commonly used to prepare concentrated stock solutions before diluting them into aqueous buffers.
It should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents, in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption.
Yes, due to its defined maximum absorption wavelengths (λ1-λ4), it is highly suitable for automated optical pH monitoring and quantitative assays.
