Ethyl Red Indicator

Ref. 3D-FE52636

Product Information

• Name: Ethyl Red Indicator
• Synonyms: 4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene-2'-carboxylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethyl Red Indicator is a chemical species that exhibits fluorescing properties under the influence of radiation. It is used as a test compound in analytical chemistry to determine the presence of acidic or basic compounds in a solution. Ethyl Red Indicator has been shown to react with quinoline derivatives and form an active methylene group, which facilitates electron transfer. This reaction mechanism leads to an enhancement of fluorescence intensity. The rate of the reaction can be determined by measuring the time taken for the ethyl red indicator to change from red-orange to pink.
