Universal Indicator (pH) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Universal Indicator (pH) (Product Code: SCL-996/241) is a laboratory-grade universal indicator solution used to estimate the approximate pH of liquids by colour in school, college and research chemistry laboratories. Unlike litmus, it gives a graded range of colours across acids and alkalis, and each 500 ml bottle carries safe handling and storage procedures printed directly on it. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for buyers of universal indicator solution in India.

What Is Universal Indicator Used For?

A universal indicator is a blend of indicators, so a single drop or two gives a graded colour rather than the simple two-colour switch of litmus. In a typical class activity, students place a few millilitres of each test liquid (dilute acid, tap water, soap solution, dilute alkali) in separate test tubes or wells of a spotting tile, add the indicator dropwise and compare the colour against a pH chart to rank the samples from strongly acidic to strongly alkaline. It is equally useful for showing how the colour drifts during a neutralisation, which is why it anchors almost every acid base indicator kit used in classrooms.

For practical work, decant a small working quantity into dropper bottles for each bench rather than passing the 500 ml stock bottle around; this keeps the main supply clean and reduces spills. Read the colour against a white background, use the same number of drops for every sample so results can be compared fairly, and keep the cap closed between uses. Follow the storage and handling instructions printed on the bottle and in the MSDS, and use eye protection when handling acids and alkalis during testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much Universal Indicator (pH) is in one bottle?
Each bottle of Universal Indicator (pH) holds 500 ml. Most labs decant small working quantities into dropper bottles for each bench, so one stock bottle can serve several classes; mention the number of bottles needed when you send an enquiry.

Is safety information included with Universal Indicator (pH)?
Yes. Universal Indicator (pH) is supplied with an MSDS, and safe handling and storage procedures are printed directly on each bottle, so the key precautions stay with the reagent wherever it is kept.

How is Universal Indicator (pH) different from litmus?
Universal indicator is a blend of indicators that shows a graded series of colours matched against a pH chart, whereas litmus only switches between red and blue. Universal Indicator (pH) therefore ranks samples from strongly acidic to strongly alkaline rather than just sorting them.

What is the shelf life of Universal Indicator (pH)?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Universal Indicator (pH). Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and follow the storage directions printed on the bottle.

Can Universal Indicator (pH) be used to test food, medicines or at home?
No. Universal Indicator (pH) is designed for laboratory or educational use only and is not for food, drug or home use, so it should stay in the school or college laboratory under staff supervision.

Who supplies Universal Indicator (pH)?
Universal Indicator (pH) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, in 500 ml bottles with an MSDS, for school, college and research laboratories and distributors in India and international markets.
