General description

Phosphoric acid is a compound of phosphorus and oxygen. It is a colorless crystalline solid.
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belong to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. Phosphoric acid-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes offer a cleaner path to energy by enabling high-temperature fuel cells that efficiently convert hydrogen into electricity with low emissions. Their durability and proton conductivity make them ideal for sustainable power systems. Click here for more information.

Application

Qualified for use as a titration acid in insect cell culture applications.
Phosphoric acid has been used:
  • as a component of preservative in yeast-sucrose food for maintaining Drosophila melanogaster
  • in the preparation of triethylamine phosphate stock solution
  • as a component in the preparation of protein reagent
  • to adjust pH during the preparation of phosphate buffer solution

Other Notes

Concentrated phosphoric acid is approx. 85% H3PO4 (aqueous).
