FAQs
What is the difference between USP and laboratory grade magnesium sulphate?
USP grade meets pharmaceutical standards with stricter purity controls, while laboratory grade is suitable for general research but may contain higher impurity levels.
Can I use magnesium sulphate USP for medical applications?
While it meets USP standards, this product is intended for laboratory use only. Medical applications require additional regulatory approvals.
How should I store magnesium sulphate to maintain its anhydrous form?
Keep it in an airtight container with desiccants in a low-humidity environment. Exposure to air will cause it to absorb moisture and form hydrates.
Is this product suitable for plant tissue culture?
Yes, magnesium sulphate USP is commonly used in plant tissue culture media as a source of magnesium and sulfur, essential for cell growth.
What is the shelf life of magnesium sulphate USP?
When stored properly in unopened containers, it has a shelf life of 3–5 years. Check the certificate of analysis for specific batch details.
