pH Indicator Paper

Single-use test materials accustomed rapidly and semi-qualitatively determine the acidity or alkalinity of liquids or to measure another parameter or substance; may include tests for starch, chlorine, and molybdenum; usually via the employment of color-based reactions. pH Papers, pH strips, pH sticks, and pH test kits are utilized in laboratory, industrial, and academic environments to qualitatively assess pH levels or monitor acid-base titrations in a very range of sample types.pH Buffer reference standards are used for the accurate calibration of pH meters and monitors for much more precise and quantitative pH measurement. pH Test papers are available either as rolls, tear-off strips, or sticks. They're impregnated with indicator dyes that change color at a selected pH. In some products, indicator dyes are covalently linked to cellulose fibers to avoid bleed-out (leaching) and contamination of the test sample. Some pH papers indicate simple acid or base conditions with one red-to-blue color change (also called litmus papers). Universal pH papers and strips contain a mix of indicators that cover a variety of pH values up to and including 0 to 14 in an exceedingly single test. The observed color change is checked against a comparison chart provided with the papers.
