Product Overview
Ammonium bicarbonate LR is a high-purity, white crystalline powder widely used in laboratory settings for its reliable and consistent properties. This laboratory reagent-grade compound decomposes upon heating, releasing ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water, making it suitable for various analytical applications. Its solubility in water and volatility upon heating make it a preferred choice for buffer preparation and other lab experiments. The LR grade ensures minimal impurities, providing accurate and reproducible results in research and testing environments. This compound is particularly valued for its role in maintaining pH levels and as a leavening agent in certain chemical processes. Stored in a cool, dry place, ammonium bicarbonate LR retains its stability and effectiveness, making it a staple in laboratories across educational and research institutions.
