Product Overview

This Universal Indicator is prepared in a denatured ethanol base to provide rapid response and consistent color transitions across a broad pH range. Designed for use in chemical education, field testing, and laboratory screening, it offers a continuous color gradient from red (strong acid) to violet (strong base), typically spanning pH 1 through 10.

The ethanol-based formulation enhances solubility and speed of reaction, allowing for fast visualization of pH changes in aqueous solutions, gels, and paper media. It is ideal for qualitative assessments where a wide-range pH profile is needed in a single application.

Key Features:

  • Covers an approximate pH range of 1.0 to 10.0
  • Ethanol base ensures quick and uniform color development
  • Color shifts: red (acidic), orange/yellow (neutral), green to blue/violet (alkaline)
  • Suitable for laboratory, classroom, and field use
  • Available in ready-to-use liquid format

Applications:

  • Educational demonstrations of pH and acid-base reactions
  • General pH screening in environmental or industrial testing
  • Visual pH reference in titrations and spot tests
  • Coating of pH test strips or indicator papers
  • Teaching tool in introductory and advanced chemistry courses

This Universal Indicator in denatured ethanol provides a fast-acting, easy-to-use solution for visualizing pH variation across a wide spectrum in both instructional and analytical settings.
