Borax Extra Pure
Borax Extra Pure, also known as sodium tetraborate decahydrate, is a high-purity crystalline compound widely used in laboratory applications involving buffer preparation, flame tests, and qualitative inorganic analysis. It serves as a valuable reagent in analytical chemistry for detecting metal ions, especially in borax bead tests, and is commonly used to prepare borate buffers for biochemical experiments due to its stable pH-regulating properties. Its ability to act as a mild alkali and complexing agent makes it suitable for various titration and solubility studies. The extra pure grade guarantees minimal contamination, ensuring accurate and consistent results in sensitive laboratory work. It should be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry environment, away from acids and moisture.
