02191430-CF | CAS 7778-77-0 | Potassium phosphate, monobasic | MPBIO
Key Features and Details
Potassium phosphate is a reagent with high buffering capacity. It occurs in several forms: monobasic, dibasic, and tribasic (K3PO4). Most pH neutral potassium phosphate buffer solutions consist of mixtures of the monobasic and dibasic forms to varying degrees, depending on the desired pH.
| SKU | 02191430-CF |
| Alternate Names | Potassium biphosphate; Potassium acid phosphate; Potassium dihydrogen phosphate; Monopotassium phosphate; Sorensen’s potassium phosphate |
| Application Notes | Potassium Phosphate Monobasic is used as a component for a wide variety of media used in the culture of microorganisms, as a component in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). In addition to helping maintain pH, it supplies essential phosphate. |
