FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of potassium phosphate dibasic (LR grade)?
The anhydrous form has a long shelf life of 3-5 years when stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed container.
2. Can this be used for cell culture media preparation?
Yes, it is suitable for cell culture applications due to its high purity and low endotoxin levels.
3. How does this differ from monobasic potassium phosphate?
Dibasic potassium phosphate has a higher pH and is used for different buffering ranges compared to the monobasic form.
4. Is this compatible with common laboratory solvents?
It is soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol but insoluble in most organic solvents.
5. What safety precautions should be taken while handling?
Wear protective gloves and goggles, and avoid inhalation of dust to prevent irritation.
