FAQs
What is the difference between monobasic and dibasic sodium phosphate?
Monobasic sodium phosphate (NaH₂PO₄) has one sodium ion, while dibasic (Na₂HPO₄) has two. They’re often used together to create phosphate buffer systems with specific pH ranges.
Can I use this for food applications?
No, this LR-grade product is intended solely for laboratory use. Food-grade phosphates require different certification and purity standards.
How do I prepare a 1M phosphate buffer using this chemical?
Dissolve 138g of sodium phosphate monobasic dihydrate in water, adjust pH with NaOH, and bring to 1L volume. Always verify calculations for your specific application.
What’s the shelf life of this product?
When stored properly in its original container, this chemical typically maintains stability for 2-3 years from manufacture date.
Does eqipped offer bulk discounts on laboratory chemicals?
Yes, we provide competitive pricing for educational institutions and research labs. Contact our sales team for volume quotes on sodium phosphate and other lab supplies.
