does anybody know whare i can "custom order" litmus strips. what i meen by this is i need a litmus strip to tes a specific ph change. in addition it has to be extremely sensitive to that change. the change is ~ ph7 to ph5.5

Chlorophenol red indicator MAY work here, I am not 100% sure, as its range is 5.2 to 6.8, but it should work half decently.

Wouldn't a pH meter work perfectly fine here? I mean, it is rather sensitive in this case since most can measure up to 2 decimal places. Moreover, it is easy to use, convenient and reusable.
