ROTH Bicarbonate indicator solution, ready-to-use

Pre-Mixed Visual Indicator for Photosynthesis and CO₂ Detection Experiments

The ROTH Bicarbonate Indicator Solution is a ready-to-use aqueous indicator formulated for the qualitative detection of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in biological and educational experiments—most notably, in photosynthesis studies involving aquatic plants or algae. This colorimetric solution visibly changes based on the CO₂ concentration, serving as a reliable tool for tracking changes in bicarbonate and pH during light-dependent reactions.

With a density of ~1 g/cm³ and boiling point of 100°C, this pre-formulated reagent is safe, stable, and easy to handle, eliminating the need for dilution or buffering prior to use.

✅ Key Features & Benefits

• Ready-to-Use Format – No dilution or mixing required; straight from the bottle to experiment
• Reliable CO₂ Detection – Color change correlates with dissolved CO₂ levels during photosynthesis
• Safe & Water-Based – Low hazard profile, ideal for classroom and laboratory use
• Visual Indicator for Teaching – Provides a clear, visible demonstration of plant gas exchange
• Stable and Consistent – Density and boiling point comparable to water ensure ease of handling

🧪 Applications

• Photosynthesis Experiments – Observe CO₂ consumption in aquatic plants under light exposure
• Educational Demonstrations – Ideal for biology labs and environmental science classes
• Respiration vs. Photosynthesis Comparisons – Use in closed systems with indicator to track CO₂ shifts
• CO₂ Measurement in Aquatic Systems – Qualitative monitoring in algae cultures or plant tanks
