Bromocresol Green is a dye of the triphenylmethane family (triarylmethane dyes). It binds quantitatively with human albumin forming an intense blue-green complex with an absorbance maximum at 628 nm. Bromocresol Green is useful in a variety of colorimetric detection technologies. It is used as a tracking dye for DNA agarose gel electrophoresis, in protein determinations and in charge-transfer complexation processes. In TLC, it is used for visualisation of the compounds with functional groups whose pKa is below 5.0.
