Product Information

• Name: Bromophenol Red Free acid
• Synonyms: 5',5''-Dibromophenolsulfonephthalein
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Bromophenol Red Free Acid is a synthetic substrate used in microbial infection and wastewater treatment. It has a pH of 2.0-3.0, which is acidic enough to disrupt the integrity of cellular membranes and cause cell lysis. Bromophenol Red Free Acid can be used as a lysing agent for human serum or cells in culture. This product is not soluble in water, so it must be dissolved in an organic solvent before it can be used. Bromophenol Red Free Acid reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce chemiluminescence that can be measured by luminometry, which is a quantitative technique for measuring light emission from chemical reactions. The hydroxyl group on the molecule reacts with the bromophenol group to form a bromohydrin intermediate, which reacts with hydrogen peroxide to produce chemiluminescence.
