Product Data
Biological target:
Methyl Orange is an azo dye and organic contaminant.
In vitro activity:
A novel pH optical sensor based on triacetylcellulose membrane as solid support was developed by using immobilization of methyl orange indicator. Determination of pH by using the proposed optical sensor is on-line, quick, inexpensive, selective and sensitive in the pH range of 4.0-12.0.
