Thymol Blue

Thymol blue (thymolsulfonephthalein) is a brownish-green or reddish-brown crystalline powder that is used as a pH indicator

 

Catalog Number: ASC-1036

CAS Number: 76-61-9

MW: 466.60 g/mol

MF: C27H30O5S

 

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.
