Demonstrate extreme acidity safely using Indigo® pH 0–2.5 test strips. Ideal for chemistry labs, education, and safety training.
Strong acids play a foundational role in chemistry education, from acid-base theory to corrosion, dissociation, and chemical safety. Indigo® Acid pH 0-2.5 test strips provide a simple, visual way for students to observe extreme acidity without the need for meters, probes, or liquid reagents. Their rapid color change makes them well suited for demonstrations, guided experiments, and supervised lab activities involving highly acidic solutions.
These low-range pH test strips are commonly used in secondary schools, technical colleges, and university teaching laboratories to support lessons on acid strength, pH scales, neutralization reactions, and chemical hazards. Because they require no calibration or instrumentation, they allow instructors to deliver consistent results across multiple lab sections while minimizing setup time and equipment risk. The strips are also useful in safety training programs that emphasize proper handling and identification of corrosive materials.

Screening with Indigo® pH 0–2.5 test strips aligns with requirements and guidance from:
We've been selling pH test strips since 2005. All Indigo® pH test strips have Certificate of Analysis, Stability & SDS documents as listed below. They come 50 strips/pack with a guaranteed 3 year shelf life (dated back from expiration date "yyyy.mm.dd").
Indigo® pH 0–2.5 test strips are intended for educational and demonstration use and provide qualitative confirmation of strong acidity. They can also test other acids at concentrations noted in mM. You can use any of these acids with test strips in a science project involving serial dilution using a dropper &/or graduated cylinder.
You can view the structure of these acids with our 3D Molecular Model Builder. It doesn't always recognize chemical formulas but should display correctly if the chemical compound names are used.
Warning: These acids are highly corrosive when concentrated. Experiment only with the supervision of a teacher. Wear safety goggles & shield, lab coat & apron, proper gloves & in a fume hood if possible. Add acid to water not the other way around.
