Phenol red 0.5% Solution in Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline

Details

Phenol red is used as a pH indicator since its color exhibits a gradual change from yellow to red over a pH range of 6.8 to 8.2. Phenol red solution is widely used in cell culture for monitoring pH changes. Addition of phenol red will provide pink-red color to the medium under normal conditions. In events such as accumulation of waste products or death of the cells, there is a resultant change in the pH leading to the change in the color of the indicator. On acidification, the medium will turn yellow indicating the need of replacement of medium or it is also indicative of bacterial contamination.
