ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionBromocresol green (BCG) is a dye of the triphenylmethane family (triarylmethane dyes). It belongs to a class of dyes called sulfonephthaleins. It is used as a pH indicator in applications such as growth mediums for microorganisms and titrations. In clinical practise, it is commonly used as a diagnostic technique. The most common use of Bromocresol green is to measure serum albumin concentration within mammalian blood samples in possible cases of renal failure and liver disease.
