Product Overview
Sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous is a high-purity, ACS reagent-grade chemical designed for critical laboratory applications. This white, crystalline powder offers exceptional solubility in water, making it ideal for preparing phosphate buffers, biochemical assays, and analytical procedures. The anhydrous form ensures stability and eliminates variability caused by hydration, providing consistent results in sensitive experiments. Its ACS grade certification guarantees low impurity levels, meeting stringent quality standards for research and testing. The compound’s neutral pH in solution makes it versatile for biological and chemical protocols. Whether used in molecular biology, chromatography, or general lab work, this reagent delivers reliability and precision. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain its integrity over extended periods.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous in water?
Sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous is highly soluble in water, typically dissolving at approximately 85 g/L at 20°C, forming a clear, colorless solution.
2. Is this product compatible with common lab solvents?
While primarily soluble in water, it has limited solubility in organic solvents like ethanol or acetone, making it less suitable for non-aqueous applications.
3. Are there lower-grade alternatives available for general use?
Yes, technical or laboratory-grade sodium phosphate dibasic is available for less demanding applications where ACS purity is not required.
4. How should this reagent be stored for long-term use?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry environment away from moisture to prevent hydration and maintain its anhydrous properties.
5. What is the typical shelf life of this product?
When stored properly, the reagent remains stable for up to 3 years from the date of manufacture, as indicated on the packaging.
