Citric Acid Monohydrate Extra Pure is a highly refined, crystalline organic acid commonly used in laboratory settings for its chelating, buffering, and acidifying properties. With one molecule of water of crystallization, it serves as a reliable pH adjuster and complexing agent in analytical chemistry, titrations, and biochemical experiments. Its extra pure grade ensures minimal contaminants, making it suitable for sensitive applications in pharmaceutical research, food analysis, and preparation of reagent solutions. Soluble in water and ethanol, it is stable under normal lab conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place in tightly sealed containers to prevent clumping and moisture absorption.

Citric Acid Monohydrate Extra Pure

Primary Uses

Buffer Preparation
- Commonly used to prepare citrate buffers for maintaining acidic to neutral pH (3.0–6.2) in biochemical and analytical experiments.
Chelating Agent
- Binds to metal ions like Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and Fe³⁺ in complexometric titrations or metal ion removal experiments.
Standard for Titration
- Used in acid-base titration to calibrate alkaline solutions or as a primary standard in volumetric analysis.
pH Adjustment
- Added to experimental media and solutions to adjust and stabilize pH, especially in microbial and enzymatic studies.

Secondary Uses

Analytical Reagent
- Employed in colorimetric tests or precipitation reactions involving metal ions.
Carbon Source in Microbiology
- Serves as an organic carbon source in selective culture media for microbial growth.
Cleaning Agent in Laboratory Equipment
- Helps remove limescale or metal salt deposits from lab glassware or metal instruments without the use of strong acids.
Precursor for Citrate Salts
- Used in the synthesis of other laboratory-grade chemicals like sodium citrate or ammonium citrate.
