Application

Phenol Red has been used for preparation of phosphate buffer saline (PBS)-with phenol red for microfluidic assay for simultaneous culture of multiple cell types. It has also been used for horseradish peroxidase-phenol red (HRP-PR) H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) detection assay to identify redox cycling compounds.
Suitable for use as a pH indicator.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phenol Red is a pH indicator which changes color from yellow to red.
