  • Applications

    Bromosulfophthalein(2-) is a water-soluble dye primarily recognized as a diagnostic reagent in clinical chemistry, notably for hepatic function testing (the BSP test) where its excretion into bile reflects liver excretory capacity. It is also used as a colorimetric indicator in analytical chemistry and photometric assays due to its visible color change and spectral properties. In the laboratory, it serves as a soluble dye/reagent for certain qualitative or quantitative assays and can act as a tracer in chromatographic or spectrophotometric methods. In some contexts, it may be used as an indicator or marker in research and development settings, with use governed by local regulations and formulation limits.
