Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate Extra Pure is a high-purity inorganic salt commonly used in laboratories as a buffering agent, particularly in the preparation of phosphate buffer solutions for biochemical and analytical procedures. It plays a vital role in maintaining stable pH conditions in enzymatic and molecular biology experiments. Additionally, it serves as a source of potassium and phosphorus in various chemical reactions and culture media. This extra pure grade ensures excellent consistency and low levels of contaminants, making it ideal for high-precision lab work. It should be stored in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed to avoid moisture absorption.

Description
