Bromothymol blue solution 0.04 %, alcoholic
Bromothymol blue solution 0.04 %, alcoholic, is mainly used in medical diagnostics and histology. It consists of bromothymol blue, a pH indicator, and ethanol as a solvent. The chemical formula of bromothymol blue is C27H28Br2O5S and that of ethanol is C2H6O.
Due to the chemical properties of bromothymol blue, this solution shows different color depending on pH: yellow at pH below 6.0, green at pH around 6.0 and blue at pH above 7.6, so it is used in laboratories to determine the pH of solutions. It does not react chemically, but changes color depending on the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution being tested.
When used in histology, the solution allows visible differentiation between different cell types or organelles, which contributes to accurate diagnosis.
