VWR Eriochrome Black T, TECHNICAL, 100g

Complexometric Indicator | Metal Ion Detection Reagent | For Titration of Water Hardness

VWR Eriochrome Black T (EBT) is a widely used complexometric indicator dye ideal for determining total water hardness in EDTA titrations. It forms a red complex with divalent metal ions (e.g., Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺), which transitions to blue upon successful titration, making it a critical component in water quality analysis, especially for field and environmental testing.

Key Features

• TECHNICAL Grade – Cost-effective for routine titrations and water testing
• Sharp Color Transition – Red-to-blue shift for clear titration endpoint detection
• Reliable Performance – Widely accepted in standard hardness determination protocols
• Metal Ion Sensitive – Responsive to Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and other alkaline earth metals
• Easy to Handle – Stable, solid powder format
