| Application: | Phenol red solution has been used:• as a tracer dye for microinjection of zebrafish eggs • as a component of the mMW medium for the preparation of mouse embryos • in the preparation of versene-ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution • as a pH indicator in Dulbecco′s modified Eagle medium (DMEM) during glycolytic stress (GST) tests and mitochondrial stress tests (MST) to evaluate metabolic function in cells. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Phenol red solution acts as a pH indicator for the culture medium.Phenol red solution acts as a pH indicator for the culture medium that turns yellow at a pH of 6.4 or lower and changes into red at a pH of 8.2 or higher. It enables a fast and simple assessment of the culture′s health. In addition to its application as a pH indicator in culture mediums, Phenol red is used to detect human peroxidase enzyme activity, as well as cellular hydrogen peroxide levels, in various experiments. |
| Features and Benefits: | High-quality, endotoxin-tested solution, suitable for mammalian cell culture. |
| General description: | Phenol red belongs to the class of triphenylmethane dyes and is widely used in the textile industry. |
| Preparation Note: | Prepared in Dulbecco′s Phosphate Buffered Saline. |
