Synonyms:3',3'',5',5''-Tetrabromo-m-cresolsulfonephthalein; Bromcresol Green
Physical Description:Yellow to tan powder (free acid); Reddish-brown to Greenish-black crystalline powder (sodium salt)
Solubility:
Free Acid: Soluble in water (6 mg/ml), ethanol (40 mg/ml) or methyl cellosolve (200 mg/ml)
Sodium Salt: Soluble in water (40 mg/ml) or ethanol (60 mg/ml).
Description:Tracking dye for DNA agarose electrophoresis.lmax = 617 (400) nm in water. Also used as a pH indicator (3.8 to 5.4 : yellow to blue-green).
Bromocresol green binds quantitatively with human albumin1forming an intense blue-green complex with an absorbance maximum at 628 nm. The intensity of the color produced is directly proportional to the albumin concentration in the sample.
