If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

General description
Application
- Phosphate citrate buffer for use in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.[2]
- Citrate-stabilized ceria aqueous sol, which was employed in the synthesis of cerium oxide nanoparticles.[3]
- Citric acid-Na2HPO4-buffered stock solution for use in the determination of fecal urease activity.[4]
- Anticoagulant citrate dextrose solution A (ACD-A), which is employed during the isolation of blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells.[5]
Citric acid has also been used:
- In a novel process which allows controlling of the particle size during the synthesis of palladium cuboctahedrons.[6]
- To prepare citric acid-derived carbon nanodots (CNDs) by bottom-up carbonization method.[7]
- As a bi-component chelating agent for the synthesis of Li4Ti5O12 (lithium titanate oxide) by a novel sol–gel method.[8]

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
