    Product Description

    BMIP is a fluorescent probe for extreme alkalinity (pH > 14) and a derivative of 1,10-phenanthroline (Item No. 28951).1 Upon the addition of sodium hydroxide to a pH above 14, the solution shifts from non-luminous to fluorescent yellow, displaying an emission maximum of 525 nm when excited at 365 nm. BMIP has been used to quantify hydroxide ion concentration between 3-6 M in water.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
