Citric Acid Mono 1kg*

citric acid mono (monohydrate) is primarily used as a pH regulator, chelating agent, and preservative due to its acidic properties; it can be used to adjust pH levels in solutions, bind to metal ions to prevent oxidation, and help stabilize certain chemical compounds in experiments or formulations, including in biochemistry, microbiology, and pharmaceutical research.

Key applications of citric acid mono in a lab:
Buffer preparation: Creating citrate buffers for experiments requiring a specific pH range.
Metal ion removal: Chelating metal ions from solutions by binding to them, useful in analytical chemistry.
Enzymatic assays: Adjusting pH for optimal enzyme activity in biochemical studies.
Microbiology studies: Maintaining pH in microbial culture media
Pharmaceutical development: As an excipient in drug formulations to stabilize active ingredients and act as a preservative.
