Phenol red was used by Leonard Rowntree and John Geraghty in the phenolsulfonphthalein test to estimate the overall blood flow through the kidney in 1911. [9] It was the first test of kidney function and was used for almost a century but is now obsolete. The test is based on the fact that phenol red is excreted almost entirely in the urine.
pH indicators: a graphic view. A pH indicator is a halochromic chemical compound added in small amounts to a solution so the pH (acidity or basicity) of the solution can be determined visually or spectroscopically by changes in absorption and/or emission properties. [1]
The ferric chloride test is used to determine the presence of phenols in a given sample or compound (for instance natural phenols in a plant extract). Enols , hydroxamic acids , oximes, and sulfinic acids give positive results as well. [ 1 ]
The doubly deprotonated (In 2-) phenolate form (the anion form of phenol) gives the familiar pink color. In strongly basic solutions, phenolphthalein is converted to its In(OH) 3− form, and its pink color undergoes a rather slow fading reaction [ 6 ] and becomes completely colorless when pH is greater than 13.
Bromophenol blue is also used as a dye. At neutral pH, the dye absorbs red light most strongly and transmits blue light. (Its peak absorbance is 590 nm at a basic pH of 12.) Solutions of the dye, therefore, are blue. At low pH, the dye absorbs ultraviolet and blue light most strongly and appears yellow in solution.
The absorbance can be written as sum of absorbances of each species (Beer–Lambert law) = = (), where the concentration of species i, the optical path length. By definition, an isosbestic point can be interpreted as a fixed linear combination of species concentrations, L = ∑ i n b i c i , d L d t = 0 , {\displaystyle L=\sum _{i}^{n}b_{i}c_{i ...

Ferric chloride (FeCl 3) test is also a colorimetric assay. Lamaison and Carnet have designed a test for the determination of the total flavonoid content of a sample (AlCI 3 method). After proper mixing of the sample and the reagent, the mixture is incubated for 10 minutes at ambient temperature and the absorbance of the solution is read at 440 nm.
