PHOSPHATE BUFFER pH 7.0

Phosphate Buffer pH 7.0 is a buffered diluent for sample dilution preparation that provides a stable pH during the processing of samples. It is recommended for dilution of water samples, dairy products and food samples as per standard microbiological procedures. The buffer is additionally employed in the making of antibiotic solutions and dilution blanks.
The use of a buffered diluent in place of unbuffered water reduces fluctuations due to the different pH values of the purified waters obtained from various sources. A constant pH during dilution has the advantage of minimizing any potential alteration of the sample that might affect microbial analysis, when applicable.
The ingredients are composed of phosphate substances that provide a buffering capacity and sodium carbonate as a pH regulator. This combination ensures that the necessary sample pH is maintained throughout the preparation and dilution of the samples.

Maintains a stable pH during sample dilution, helping minimize changes that could affect microbiological testing. Phosphate Buffer pH 7.0 is suitable for preparing dilution blanks and handling samples where controlled pH is required.
