LabChem® Methyl Orange-Xylene Cyanol

LabChem® METHYL ORANGE-XYLENE CYANOL is a pre-mixed indicator solution combining methyl orange with xylene cyanol, blended to produce a sharper, more visually distinct color transition than methyl orange alone. Blending both indicators in a single, fixed-ratio solution reduces the ambiguity of the classic red-to-yellow transition, which can be difficult for some observers to judge precisely. Its pre-mixed formulation ensures a consistent, accurate addition every time.

It is commonly used as a mixed indicator in acid-base titrations, particularly total alkalinity determination in water testing. Its consistent formulation supports reliable, reproducible endpoint detection across testing sessions. This reagent should be handled, stored, and used according to established laboratory safety procedures and the manufacturer's instructions.
