FAQs
What is the difference between citric acid monohydrate and anhydrous?
The monohydrate form contains one water molecule per citric acid molecule, making it more stable for storage. Anhydrous citric acid lacks this water content and may absorb moisture from the air.
Can this be used for food applications?
While this is lab-grade citric acid, food-grade variants are available for culinary use. Always verify the grade matches your application requirements.
How should I store citric acid monohydrate?
Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment. Exposure to humidity may cause clumping but doesn’t affect chemical properties.
What’s the shelf life of this product?
When stored properly, citric acid monohydrate remains stable for 2-3 years. Check the manufacturer’s expiration date on the packaging.
Is this suitable for DNA extraction protocols?
Yes, citric acid is commonly used in DNA extraction buffers due to its chelating properties that help remove metal ions.
