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

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.
