Bromophenol blue (BPB) is a pH indicator and dye commonly used in laboratories, especially in gel electrophoresis and titrations.
pH Indicator Properties Color Changes: Below pH 3.0: Yellow Between pH 3.0 and 4.6: Greenish Above pH 4.6: Blue
Bromophenol blue can be retained and analyzed using the Newcrom R1 column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and sulfuric acid as a buffer. Detection is carried out using UV.
