Students add litmus solution to everyday samples — lemon juice, vinegar, soap solution, baking soda solution, tap water — and record whether blue litmus turns red, red litmus turns blue, or neither changes. The liquid form suits these activities because it mixes evenly through a test tube of sample and gives a colour the whole group can see, whereas litmus paper school labs in India keep on hand is quicker for single spot checks. In biology lessons it shows that soil extracts, fruit juices or products of digestion are acidic or alkaline before more exact pH work.
Litmus shows only whether a sample is acidic or basic; it does not give a pH value. For that, follow up with a universal indicator or pH paper. Pour working amounts into dropper bottles, never return used indicator to the stock bottle, and rinse test tubes well so leftover acid or alkali does not change the next result.
Litmus solution is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited under its trading name ScienceLab. From its base in Ambala, Haryana, the company supplies indicators and other reagents to schools and colleges, so a complete acid-base lesson can be ordered from one source.

Does Litmus Sol Red/Blue come as red, blue or both?
Litmus Sol Red/Blue is listed in both red and blue forms. State which colour you need, or how many 500 ml packs of each, when you enquire through the contact page, and the split will be confirmed in your quotation.
What colour changes does Litmus Sol Red/Blue show?
With Litmus Sol Red/Blue, acids turn blue litmus red, alkalis turn red litmus blue, and neutral samples leave both colours unchanged, which lets students sort everyday liquids such as vinegar, soap solution and tap water into three groups.
Can Litmus Sol Red/Blue measure the exact pH?
No. Litmus Sol Red/Blue only shows whether a sample is acidic or basic; it does not give a pH value. When students need an approximate pH, follow up with universal indicator solution or pH paper on the same samples.
When is Litmus Sol Red/Blue better than litmus paper?
Litmus Sol Red/Blue is better for test-tube demonstrations and larger sample volumes, because the colour spreads evenly and the whole group can see it. Litmus paper is quicker for single spot checks, so many school labs keep both forms.
What is the shelf life of Litmus Sol Red/Blue?
The shelf life of Litmus Sol Red/Blue depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is stated. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the bottle closed and stored as the MSDS advises.
Who supplies Litmus Sol Red/Blue?
