Biochem/physiol Actions

Chlorophenol red is a pH indicator. It is used as an optical transducer of acetyl cholinesterase inhibition by the analytes. Chlorophenol red is also used to selectively determine chlorine dioxide in drinking water. It has been used in the novel assay to detect transformed protoplast-derived Zea mays colonies on Phosphinothricin (PPT).
