Description:
Phenol Red sodium salt commonly employed in cell biology laboratories as a cell tissue culture pH marker.Alefacept Under normal conditions, phenol red added to the growth medium will have a pink-red color.Catechin If their is dying cells or overgrowth of contaminants, this will cause a change in pH resulting in a change in indicator color.PMID:23819239 This color change is an indication that the medium needs to be replaced.
