Re: [Histonet] RE: Glassware Cleaning again
Bromcresol means Bromocresol.
Faint not, but I certainly can't say you won't dye if you leave out the O.
The o is subject to elision due to its difficulty in pronounciation.
Such an occurrence of elision between 2 consonants is called syncope.
In English writing an elided vowel is often replaced with an apostrophe to
indicate the elision and perhaps demonstrate the dialect of the speaker.
Colloquial dialects in writing are too informal for stuffy scientific
and medical types, and indeed
special meaning is liable to be construed to the presence of a spurious
punctuation in the name of a chemical.
We don't see {brom'cresol} in
the lab {purple, green} but we can hear of an existence
where it lives happily under other nomenclature.
So bromcresol means bromocresol.
And as in American politics,
the removal of an O might seem to make a difference visually
and even might be comfortable to some,
but actually would amount absolutely nothing in terms of what is
being represented, or the dying that is going on.

Is bromocresol purple the same as bromcresol purple? The CAP question
regarding glassware cleaning refers to bromcresol purple, but I ordered a
powder and it is labeled as bromocresol purple.

Re: [Histonet] RE: Glassware Cleaning again
Brian, et.al., It's not a typo or and an error. It's one might call a variant spelling. The Merck Index lists Bromcresol Purple, CAS Number 115-40-2. Below is what Sigma lists with the same CAS number. I've noticed the prefix Brom or Bromo on the name of several dyes. Either way, it's the same thing. *114375 * *Sigma-Aldrich * Bromocresol Purple BioReagent, suitable for indicator, Dye content 90 % Synonym: *5,5?-Dibromo-/o/-cresolsulfonphthalein, Bromcresol purple sultone form * On 8/15/2014 11:35 AM, Cooper, Brian wrote: I noticed the discrepancy in spelling too.
