General description

Sodium phosphate is a colorless to white crystalline powder or granules. It is prepared by neutralization of phosphoric acid under controlled conditions with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate .
We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belong to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. Sodium phosphate supports cleaner technologies as a versatile buffering and stabilizing agent that helps control pH, mitigate corrosion and side reactions, and extend equipment/component lifetimes—reducing waste, chemical use, and energy demand across processes. Click here for more information.

Application

Sodium phosphate is used as a:
  • component in the preparation of solid crystals of calcium hydroxyapatite substituted by strontium
  • block buffer to study segmental and subcellular distribution of CFTR in the kidney

Other general uses are as pH control agent, water hardness precipitation, laboratory reagent, phosphatizing reagent.

Regeneration of sensory neurons after spinal cord injury depends on the function of dividing neuronal-glial antigen 2 (NG2)-expressing cells. We have shown that increases in the number of dividing NG2-positive cells through short-term pharmacologic inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases contributes to

Extracellular nucleotides acting through P2 receptors facilitate natriuresis. To define how purinergic mechanisms are involved in sodium homeostasis, we used transgenic (TG) mice that globally overexpress human CD39 (hCD39, NTPDase1), an ectonucleotidase that hydrolyzes extracellular ATP/ADP to AMP, resulting in
