Xylenol Blue is a sulfonephthalein dye. It exhibits observable color changes in response to variations in pH. Xylenol Blue undergoes two distinct color transitions across two specific pH ranges: an acidic range and an alkaline range. In a neutral solution, Xylenol Blue appears yellow (at pH 8); in a strongly acidic medium, its color shifts to red (at pH 2.8); and in an alkaline medium, the yellow hue transitions to blue (at pH 9.6).

Description

Xylenol Blue is a sulfonephthalein dye. It exhibits observable color changes in response to variations in pH. Xylenol Blue undergoes two distinct color transitions across two specific pH ranges: an acidic range and an alkaline range. In a neutral solution, Xylenol Blue appears yellow (at pH 8); in a strongly acidic medium, its color shifts to red (at pH 2.8); and in an alkaline medium, the yellow hue transitions to blue (at pH 9.6)[1].

In Vitro

Xylenol Blue serves as an acid-base indicator, appearing yellow in neutral solutions (pH 8); in strongly acidic media, its color shifts to red (pH 2.8); while in alkaline media, the yellow hue transitions to blue (pH 9.6)[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
