Taylor R-0004-A-264 Phenol Red pH Indicator Solution – 0.75 oz (Phenol Red 2000 Series)

Overview

Taylor R-0004-A-264 is a Phenol Red based pH indicator solution from the trusted Phenol Red 2000 Series. Housed in a compact 0.75 oz bottle, it offers a reliable, color-based way to visualize acidity and basicity in a wide range of solutions. This indicator is designed to support quick, visually intuitive assessments in classroom demonstrations, small lab experiments, and everyday testing tasks.

What it is and how it helps

Phenol red is a classic colorimetric indicator that shifts color as the solution’s pH changes. In acidic conditions the liquid generally appears yellow, while alkaline environments bring a noticeable shift toward pink or red tones. This color transition provides an immediate, easy-to-read cue for researchers, students, and hobbyists who want to compare solutions without specialized equipment.

Using a single bottle of Taylor R-0004-A-264, you can explore basic acid-base concepts, verify buffer performance, or confirm whether a solution trends toward acidity or basicity. The small bottle size makes it convenient to store between experiments or to tuck into a classroom kit for ongoing demonstrations.

Key benefits and use cases

• Clear colorimetric readouts that support rapid assessments in busy teaching labs
• Suitable for small-scale experiments, home labs, and hobby projects where quick pH insights are helpful
• Part of the reliable Phenol Red 2000 Series, offering consistency across experiments

• Non-instrument based pH visualization that reduces setup time
• Compact packaging designed for easy handling and storage
• Reusable across multiple sessions with proper sealing and handling

Packaging, handling, and quality

The 0.75 oz bottle is sized for practicality in classrooms and small laboratories, offering a balance between quantity and portability. Store in a cool, dark place and replace the cap securely after use to maintain dye integrity. Taylor’s indicator solution is formulated to deliver consistent color responses, helping users interpret results with confidence, while keeping expectations realistic about what color changes can indicate in each tested sample.

Who benefits

Educators conducting hands-on activities, students learning basic chemistry concepts, and enthusiasts performing at-home experiments may find this indicator especially useful for illustrating pH concepts through visible color changes. It provides a straightforward visual cue that complements other data collected during experiments, without making guarantees about outcomes.
