Product Overview
Calcium phosphate tribasic LR is a high-purity, laboratory-grade chemical compound widely used in biochemical and analytical applications. This fine, white powder offers excellent solubility in dilute acids while remaining insoluble in water and ethanol, making it a versatile reagent for controlled experimental conditions. Its precise composition ensures reliable performance in buffer solutions, precipitation reactions, and as a nutrient supplement in cell culture media. The LR (Laboratory Reagent) grade designation guarantees consistent quality with minimal impurities, meeting the stringent requirements of research laboratories. The compound’s stability under standard storage conditions (cool, dry environment) further enhances its utility as a long-term lab staple. Whether used in qualitative analysis or quantitative research, this calcium phosphate variant delivers reproducible results due to its standardized production process. The 500g packaging provides an optimal balance between bulk savings and practical usage quantities for most laboratory settings.
FAQs
1. What is the chemical formula of calcium phosphate tribasic?
Calcium phosphate tribasic has the chemical formula Ca3(PO4)2, representing its tricalcium phosphate composition.
2. Can this product be used for food-grade applications?
This LR-grade calcium phosphate is specifically formulated for laboratory use and is not certified for food or pharmaceutical applications.
3. What is the typical shelf life of this chemical?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from moisture, the product maintains its stability for approximately 2-3 years from the date of manufacture.
4. How does this differ from dibasic calcium phosphate?
Tribasic calcium phosphate contains three calcium atoms per phosphate unit (Ca3(PO4)2), while dibasic has two (CaHPO4), resulting in different solubility profiles and pH behaviors.
5. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this powder?
Use standard laboratory safety measures including gloves, goggles, and a dust mask when handling, as the fine powder may cause respiratory irritation if inhaled.
