Thymol Blue is a pH indicator commonly used in laboratory and research applications to monitor pH changes. It exhibits two distinct color transitions: red to yellow in acidic ranges (pH 1.2–2.8) and yellow to blue in basic ranges (pH 8.0–9.6). This versatility makes Thymol Blue essential for titrations, buffer solutions, and educational experiments. Available in high-purity grades to meet laboratory standards.
