Cresol Red sodium
Cresol Red sodium is a colorimetric pH indicator. Cresol Red sodium serves as an optical sensor for monitoring carbonic anhydrase-catalyzed reactions and as a colorimetric dye that responds to hydrogen ions generated during DNA synthesis. Cresol Red sodium can be used in the research of hepatitis A and COVID-19.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Cresol Red sodium (3.71 mM; 6 h) enables naked-eye detection of temperature changes through visualizable DNA synthesis, allowing detection of short-term temperature exposure lasting only 2 h in cold-chain logistics while ensuring stability at room temperature[2].
Cresol Red sodium salt serves as a pH indicator in solution for colorimetric RT-LAMP detection of the SARS-CoV-2 N gene[11].
