Red Litmus test paper is a foolproof pH test to determine if something is a base. The Red Litmus test paper does not come with a color chart as it cannot provide you with a defined pH value. The test strip will turn blue if dipped into an alkaline solution (pH >7). Using pH test paper provides a quick visual indication of the degree of acidity or alkalinity present in whatever solution is being tested. This is a vital tool for classroom projects or field trips. Our test papers offer a wide variety of pH papers. They are supplied in a clear plastic vial


Instructions:

  • Remove one Red Litmus test paper from the vial, being careful not to touch the strip anywhere other than where you grasp it.
  • Dip the strip into the solution to be tested for 1-2 seconds and remove.
  • The test strip will turn blue in seconds if dipped into a solution that is a base, and will remain unchanged if not.
