Bromocresol purple *CAS 115-40-2* *Ultrapure grade*
Bromocresol purple (BCP) or 5',5-dibromo-o-cresolsulfophthalein, is a pH indicator. In its sultone form, it has a pKa value of 6.3, and is usually prepared as a 0.04% aqueous solution. Besides its primary function as an indicator, bromocresol purple is used in medical laboratories to measure albumin.
