LaMotteĀ® Ferroin Indicator

The LaMotte Ferroin Indicator is a highly sensitive and stable chemical indicator ideal for redox titrations, particularly in determining iron levels in food processing applications. This indicator, a 1,10-phenanthroline ferrous complex, exhibits a distinct color change from blue-green to red, clearly signaling the endpoint of the reaction when iron is oxidized from ferrous (+2) to ferric (+3). Its sharp endpoint and high sensitivity make it a reliable reagent for analytical chemistry applications, including testing iron concentrations in water used for food safety and quality control. This indicator is essential for food manufacturers and laboratories ensuring compliance with health regulations and maintaining product integrity.
