title: Determination of detergent critical micellar concentration by solubilization of a colored dye.
abstract: The critical micellar concentration of detergent was determined by the solubilization of a colored dye found in standard waterproof pen. The amount of solubilized dye is directly proportional to the concentration of micelles in the detergent solution. The method has been validated with a series of standard detergents.
