Blue Litmus Solution (Product Code: SCL-787/138) is the liquid form of the litmus acid-base indicator, used to identify acidic solutions in school and college science laboratories. Added to a test liquid it turns red in acids and stays blue in neutral or basic solutions, which makes it a core part of any acid base indicator kit; it is listed in a 125 gm pack, as analytical reagent grade with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Pupils place small samples of household and laboratory liquids, such as lemon juice, vinegar, soap solution, dilute hydrochloric acid and tap water, in a row of test tubes or a spotting tile and add a few drops of the solution to each. The acids turn red at once, while the others stay blue; testing the blue results again with red litmus then separates bases from neutral liquids. The same solution shows the bleaching effect of chlorine water, which first reddens and then removes the colour.
Pour a working quantity into labelled dropper bottles for each bench rather than passing the stock bottle around, and never return unused solution to it. Keep the stock tightly closed and away from bottles of concentrated acid, whose fumes can turn it red over time. Many teachers stock it alongside litmus paper and pH indicator paper so pupils can compare a simple acid or base answer with a full pH reading.

What colour change does Blue Litmus Solution show?
Blue Litmus Solution turns from blue to red in acidic solutions and stays blue in neutral and basic ones. Because it cannot tell a base from a neutral liquid on its own, use red litmus alongside it to confirm a base.
The Blue Litmus Solution pack is listed as 125 gm – what volume is that?
The listing gives the Blue Litmus Solution pack size as 125 gm rather than as a volume. If you need to know the volume for planning bench bottles or class sets, please ask through our contact page before ordering.
Should I buy blue litmus solution or litmus paper?
Blue Litmus Solution suits test-tube work, spotting tiles and class demonstrations, while litmus paper strips suit quick individual spot tests. Many laboratories keep both, since the solution shows colour changes clearly to a whole class and the paper is easy to hand out.
What is the shelf life of Blue Litmus Solution?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep Blue Litmus Solution closed, out of direct sunlight and away from acid fumes, which can turn it red.
What grade is Blue Litmus Solution and is an MSDS included?
Blue Litmus Solution is listed as analytical reagent grade and is supplied with an MSDS. Keep the MSDS with your chemical records so staff can check handling and first-aid guidance before preparing bench dropper bottles for a class.
Can you supply Blue Litmus Solution to several schools at once?
Yes. Blue Litmus Solution is supplied to single schools, school groups and dealers in India and international markets. Include the number of packs and each delivery address in your enquiry so that one quotation covers the whole order.
