blur_circular Chemical Specifications
description Product Description
Tetrabromophenol blue (TBPB) is primarily used as a pH indicator in various chemical and biological applications. It is commonly employed in laboratory settings to determine the acidity or alkalinity of solutions, particularly in titration experiments. TBPB exhibits a color change from yellow to blue over a pH range of approximately 3.0 to 4.6, making it useful for identifying pH transitions in this range.
In microbiology, TBPB is utilized in culture media to monitor pH changes caused by microbial growth, aiding in the identification and study of microorganisms. Additionally, it is used in educational demonstrations to visually illustrate pH concepts and chemical reactions. Its distinct color change and stability make it a reliable tool for both research and teaching purposes.
