You've probably heard of terms such as body pH, alkaline diets and "the pH balance" - and for good reason. Experts agree that the ph balance of our bodies are extremely important to our health. Some even states that it can be a matter of life and death. Although we here at Litmus-Paper.com do not ...

In today’s microbiology, there exist quite a few types of microscopes for various varied uses. As such, it becomes quite challenging to actually classify the microscopes into specific types. However, in this edition, we analyzed several microscope uses and features then came up with distinctive ...

Accurate pH determination of a solution is a very pivotal element of most scientific researches. In essence, there are other ways to determine pH; popular among them being the use of litmus paper and pH meters. But the pH meter is one very easy-to-use device for accurate determination of pH and ...

A pH paper is a filter paper that has a natural soluble dye that is used to test the acid or alkaline level of a water based solution. A pH meter on the other hand is a digital instrument that measures the acid or alkaline level of a solution. Contrasting Pros of a pH meter over the pH paper ...

In a nutshell, a centrifuge can be defined as a device that uses the principles of centrifugal force and some gravity in order to separate particles in a solution based on their density, shape, viscosity of the solvent or just the amount of the centrifugal force applied through spinning. In order ...

A centrifuge is a machine that is used to separate fluids of different densities by making rotations at very high speeds. The spinning of the liquid enhances the separation of the content in it. The liquid with high density will be at the bottom while the one with a low density will be at the top.  ...

It is necessary for us to know what a spectrometer is before we even start explaining how it works. A spectrometer is an instrument used to break the light that has been collected into different spectrum components. The spectrum components are waves that are not within the range they have been sent ...

ORP is an abbreviation for Oxidation-Reduction Potential. ORP is a measurement that shows how an element can reduce or oxidize another element. The international system unit for ORP is millivolts. We can now say an ORP meter is an instrument that is used to measure the level of substance in terms ...

The pH reading of a solution/substance is the measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a substance. In essence, pH readings should always be carried out in scientific experiments that involve water or other chemical reactions. One of the most popular devices for determining the pH of a solution is ...

Before we set into knowing the advantages of a digital microscope, I would love us to first know what this digital microscope is. A digital microscope is a microscope that has the advanced technical camera that displays the image seen through the eyepiece all the way to the computer screen. ...

“…if the blue litmus paper turns red in the solution, then it’s an acid (I guess); if the red litmus paper turns blue, then the solution is basic.” Well, you probably remember meeting such a phrase before if you ever attended a Chemistry class. The science behind taking pH measurements back then ...

After a couple of months of downtime we're excited to finally announce the new and improved Litmus-Paper.com. We've been working around the clock to be able to give our readers a brand new experience on our site. We now feature over a thousand different products, and have branched out into other ...

The Science Behind Litmus Paper Litmus paper is a necessity for laboratories, hospitals and consumers eager to learn who well their body is performing. Litmus paper comes in a variety of forms and brands which can provide pH measurements for a range of acidity and alkalinity levels. The most ...

When it comes to testing for alkalinity or acidity, the two far most popular choices are litmus paper and pH paper. Although being very popular, many people don’t realize the difference between the two. In this article, I will show you the difference between litmus paper and pH paper, a ...

pH is simply a measurement of the electrical balance in your body, and if your pH varies too much some of the vital enzymes in your body won’t be able to function the way that they are supposed to.This can lead to severe illness. The fastest, most convenient and most accurate way to keep ...

You’ve probably been told before that testing your body’s pH daily can tell you how you’re body is performing, but just what are the health consequences of an unbalanced body pH? We’ve done some research and we can now present to you the serious consequences that an unbalanced pH can cause. ...
