Phosphate Buffer (pH 5.8 To 7.4) Preparation And Recipe

Phosphate Buffer (pH 5.8 to 7.4) Preparation and RecipeA simple phosphate buffer is used ubiquitously in biological experiments, as it can be adapted to a variety of pH levels, including isotonic. This wide range is due to phosphoric acid having 3 dissociation constants, (known in chemistry as a triprotic acid) allowing for formulation of buffers near each of the pH levels of 2.15, 7.21, or 12.32. Phosphate buffer is highly water soluble and has a high buffering capacity, but will inhibit enzymatic activity and precipitates in ethanol. The buffer is one of the most popular currently used, and is commonly employed in molecular and cell biology, chemistry, and material science, among many others.
