| Application: | Potassium phosphate dibasic has been used in the preparation of MMG (maltose, methyl green) medium, phosphate buffered saline and hypotonic solution. |
| Features and Benefits: | • Increased efficiency – Eliminate time and effort of loosening hardened powders • Safety – Avoid risks of using tools of force to break up clumps • Economy – Faster preparation and solvation increase productivity and reduce costs • Assured quality – Excellent, expert-tested quality with no anti-caking agents • Flexible volumes – Available from research amounts to scale-up quantities |
| General description: | Potassium phosphate dibasic is a useful biological buffer having a pH in the range of 8.5–9.6. Potassium phosphate is present in various forms: monobasic (KH2PO4), dibasic (KH2PO4), and tribasic (K3PO4). Potassium phosphate buffers are widely employed in equilibrium dialysis, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and affinity capillary electrophoresis studies. |
