ORTHO-PHOSPHORIC ACID

Ortho-Phosphoric Acid is a clear, colourless syrupy liquid commonly available as an 85% aqueous solution. It shows strong acidic behavior and is readily soluble in water to give aqueous solutions. It is employed as a pH-adjusting agent in many analytical systems due to its consistent acidity. In chromatographic applications, it is used as a diluent in the preparation of samples for HPLC, which assists in the maintenance of the proper sample conditions to facilitate an accurate separation and analysis. Its reactivity is controlled and can be used in aqueous systems making it suitable for laboratory applications requiring high precision and stability.

A widely used acidic liquid for sample preparation and pH adjustment in analytical techniques.
