Neutral Red CAS#553-24-2
Neutral red is a hydrochloride obtained by combining the free base of neutral red with one equivalent of hydrochloric acid. Neutral red acts as a pH indicator, changing from red to yellow between pH 6.8 and 8.0. It has a role as a dye, an acid-base indicator and a two-colour indicator. It contains a neutral red(1+).

Product Application of Neutral Red CAS#553-24-2
Transition of pH Indicator: pH 6.8 - 8.0, red to yellow. Basic red 5 is a dye used in histology for staining nuclei. It is also a pH indicator. As such it is used in microbial culture media for differentation of bacteria. For example MacConkey agar contains it and lactose. Acidification by lactic acid turns on the Basic red 5. Therefore, colonies formed by bacteria that ferment lactose into lactic acid will turn red and stand out from the pale colonies of non-lactose-fermenting bacteria. Basic red 5 is also used in cell viability tests based on the ability to incorporate and bind it.
