Phenols are acidic substances (pH over 7).
The pKa of phenol is 9.95
8.34
4.0000
It is used as a pH (acid-base) indicator, particularly for substances with an expected pH between 3.0 and 4.6. Bromophenol blue turns yellow at or below a pH of 3.0. It turns purple at or above a pH of 4.6.
Phenolphthalein Methyl Orange Litmus Bromophenol Blue
Bromophenol blue is the tracking dye in electrophoresis. Being of small molecular size, it races towards the other electrode before the DNA. It is used so that you don't mistakenly let the DNA get washed off the gel and into the buffer solution.
The blue band at the bottom of the gel is Bromophenol blue and DNA fragments will be in the gel according to their molecular weight.
classic recipes say 0.25% bromphenol blue (0.25g/100ml) in a solution containing a viscous substance like: 40%sucrose, or 15%Ficoll, or 30%glycerol all in water. Personally, I use glycerol.
blue
bromophenol blue is used as the tracking dye while coomassie brilliant blue is the staining dye.
At pH 3.0 it has blue colour
The loading dye comprises bromophenol blue, Ficoll 400 and water majorly while Xylene cyanol, Tris and EDTA are optional in it. Bromophenol blue is one of the most popular indicators of DNA in agarose gel electrophoresis. Bromophenol blue is a pH indicator.

Sucrose and Bromophenol blue (6X): 4gm sucrose 25mg bromophenol blue (0.25%) Distilled water to 10 ml
Bromophenol Amax or maximum absorbance in spectrophotometer is 590nm I guess so hehe^^ based on my experimental result though!
It is used as a pH (acid-base) indicator, particularly for substances with an expected pH between 3.0 and 4.6. Bromophenol blue turns yellow at or below a pH of 3.0. It turns purple at or above a pH of 4.6.
bromothymol blue is an indicator for carbon fioxide, so if it touches carbon dioxide, it turns yellow.but by itself, it is blue.
