Application: | Potassium phosphate monobasic has been used: • to prepare the working luminol solution to study the prooxidant activity in the chemiluminescent system luminol–H2O2 • in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) to culture embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and generate embryoid bodies • in PBS to prepare polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate |
General description: | Potassium phosphate is widely used in buffers to prepare biological samples and examine biological interactions. |
