About This Product
Red litmus solution shows whether a sample behaves as alkaline and demonstrates colour change in lessons on acids, bases, neutralisation and pH indicators. A small amount of sample goes into a clean test tube or spot plate well, one or two drops of indicator are added, and the colour is read against a white background. The result is quick and qualitative, and can be compared with universal indicator or pH meter readings. Export supply of the Red Litmus pH Indicator Solution can be arranged to laboratories and schools in Haiti, Equatorial Guinea, South Sudan, Costa Rica, Kiribati and Saint Lucia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Does red litmus solution give an exact pH value?
No. It shows acid-base behaviour qualitatively, staying red in acid and turning blue in alkaline conditions. A calibrated pH meter or full-range universal indicator is used when a numerical pH value is needed.
