Product Description
Ortho-Phosphoric Acid (H₃PO₄) is a versatile inorganic acid widely used in laboratories for its strong acidic properties and ability to act as a buffering agent. The Emplura® grade from Merck ensures high purity, making it suitable for critical applications in research, analytical chemistry, and industrial processes.
This 85% concentration provides a balanced strength for precise pH control in solutions, making it ideal for preparing phosphate buffers, cleaning glassware, and synthesizing phosphate esters. Whether you’re a student conducting experiments or a researcher developing new formulations, this lab-grade phosphoric acid delivers consistent results.
At eqipped, we source directly from trusted suppliers like Merck to bring you authentic, high-quality chemicals for your laboratory needs. Each batch undergoes strict quality checks to meet analytical standards, so you can focus on your work without compromising on purity.
Key Applications
Phosphoric acid is commonly used in:
- Preparing buffer solutions for biochemical assays
- Adjusting pH in chemical reactions
- Cleaning and etching glassware
- Synthesizing phosphate-based compounds
- Food and beverage industry (as an acidulant)
For researchers working with sensitive experiments, the Emplura® grade ensures minimal impurities, reducing the risk of contamination in your results. Students can rely on its consistency for accurate titrations and qualitative analysis.
Safety and Handling
Ortho-Phosphoric Acid is corrosive and should be handled with care. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation of fumes.
In case of skin contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists. Store in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances like strong bases and oxidizing agents.
Why This Product Stands Out
Unlike industrial-grade phosphoric acid, the Emplura® version is specifically purified for laboratory use. Its precise concentration and low impurity levels make it a preferred choice for analytical chemists and researchers who demand accuracy.
When you buy ortho phosphoric acid from eqipped, you get more than just a chemical—you get a product backed by Merck’s reputation for quality. Our seamless ordering process ensures you receive your supplies quickly, so your work stays on track.
FAQs
What is the purity level of this phosphoric acid?
This product is Emplura® grade, ensuring a minimum of 85% purity, making it suitable for laboratory and analytical applications.
Can I use this for food-related experiments?
While phosphoric acid is used in the food industry, this lab-grade version is not certified for food contact. For food applications, use food-grade phosphoric acid.
How should I store ortho-phosphoric acid?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place. Keep away from heat sources and incompatible chemicals like strong bases.
Is this product suitable for pH adjustment in cell culture media?
Yes, but ensure proper dilution and sterilization before use in cell culture applications to avoid contamination.
What is the shelf life of this product?
When stored correctly, ortho-phosphoric acid has a long shelf life. Check the expiration date on the label for specific batch details.
