Methyl red solution

2 %, for microbiology
Examples of effect: Flammable; liquids form compounds with the air which can become explosive; produce flammable gases with water or can self-combust. Safety: Keep away from open flames and sources of heat; close containers tightly; store in a fire-safe manner.
Examples of effect: Lead to damage to heath, cause irritation to eyes, skin or respiratory organs. Are fatal in larger quantities. Safety: As previously stated, in the event of skin irritation or contact with eyes, rinse with water or a suitable medium.

Product details



Methyl red solution 2 %, for microbiology
Application

Acid formation during mixed acid fermentation is detected with the methyl red test (MR test).


Mixed acid fermentation produces a lot of acid (pH<4.4), which leads to a deep red colour (positive) after adding the methyl red solution. If no mixed acid fermentation takes place, little acid is present and a yellow/orange colour (negative) results.


The methyl red test is part of the Bunte series for the differentiation of bacteria, especially from the Enterobacteriaceae group.
