SHORT DESCRIPTION

Disodium Hydrogen Phosphate Extra Pure is a high-purity, anhydrous inorganic salt widely used in laboratory settings as a buffering agent, pH regulator, and reagent in chemical analysis. It plays a crucial role in preparing phosphate buffer systems for biochemical assays, molecular biology protocols, and microbial culture media. With its reliable solubility and consistent reactivity, it supports accurate calibration of pH in solutions. Its extra pure grade ensures minimal contamination, making it ideal for use in sensitive analytical and research environments. Proper storage in airtight containers is recommended to prevent moisture absorption and preserve its effectiveness.

Description
