Nitrazine Yellow is used to test vaginal pH during late pregnancy to determine the breakage of the amniotic sac. To perform a fecal pH test for diagnosing intestinal infections or other digestive problems. In civil engineering, to determine the carbonatation spread in concrete structures and therefore assess the state of the rebar's passivation film.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
