General description

Potassium phosphate solution have very high buffering capacity that is widely used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and chromatography. Potassium phosphate dibasic trihydrate is a key component of potassium phosphate buffer, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and phosphate-buffered EDTA (PBE). It is extensively used in the preparation of biological samples for various biological experiments.[1] Potassium phosphate buffer is also used in methods such as equilibrium dialysis, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) to study the characteristics of drug-protein interactions in the body.[2] Potassium phosphate buffer solutions consist of mixtures of the potassium phosphate monobasic and potassium phosphate dibasic forms.[3]

Application

Potassium phosphate dibasic trihydrate has been used in the preparation of potassium phosphate buffer for the resuspension of polyelectrolyte capsules.[4] It has also been used as a buffer during glutaminase‑1 (GLS-1) enzyme assay and GLS-2 enzyme assay.[5]

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. 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.

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. 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
