Product Overview
Potassium phosphate dibasic, powder, BAKER ANALYZED™ ACS reagent is a high-purity chemical compound designed for precision in analytical applications. This ACS-grade reagent meets stringent quality standards, ensuring consistent performance in laboratory environments. The dibasic form of potassium phosphate is widely recognized for its role in buffer solutions, where it helps maintain stable pH levels critical for biochemical and molecular biology experiments. Its powdered form allows for easy dissolution and accurate measurement, making it a preferred choice for researchers and analysts. The BAKER ANALYZED™ certification guarantees low impurity levels, including heavy metals and insoluble matter, which is essential for reliable experimental outcomes. Whether used in titrations, chromatography, or as a component in culture media, this reagent provides the purity and consistency required for reproducible results. Store in a cool, dry place to preserve its integrity and extend shelf life.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of potassium phosphate dibasic powder?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from moisture and direct sunlight, this product typically retains its stability for up to 3 years from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this reagent be used for preparing phosphate-buffered saline (PBS)?
Yes, ACS-grade potassium phosphate dibasic is suitable for PBS preparation due to its high purity and precise composition, ensuring accurate buffer formulation.
3. Is this product compatible with cell culture applications?
While it can be used in certain cell culture media formulations, it is recommended to verify compatibility with specific cell lines and experimental protocols.
4. How should I handle spills of this powder?
Wear appropriate protective gear, contain the spill with an inert absorbent, and dispose of it according to local chemical waste regulations.
5. Are there lower-grade alternatives available for general lab use?
Laboratory-grade potassium phosphate dibasic is available for less critical applications, though it may not meet the same purity standards as ACS-grade reagents.
