Sodium phosphate

1 M sodium buffer (pH 6.0–7.2)


Mixing 1 designated in the table below results in 1 L phosphate of 1 M sodium
phosphate buffer of the desired pH. To prepare the stock solutions, dissolve 138 g of
NaH2PO4•H2O (monobasic; m.w. = 138) in sufficient H 2O to make a final volume of
1 L and dissolve 142 g of Na2HPO4 (dibasic; m.w. = 142) in sufficient H2O to make a
final volume of 1 L.M NaH2PO4 (monobasic) and 1 M Na2HPO4 (dibasic) stock
solutions in the volumes

phosphate buffer (pH 7.4)
Add 3.1 g of NaH2PO4•H2O and 10.9 g of Na2HPO4 (anhydrous) to distilled H2O to
make a volume of 1 L. The pH of the final solution will be 7.4. This buffer can be
stored for up to 1 mo at 4°C.
0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer (from 1 M stocks) at 25°C
To prepare 1 L of 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer of the desired pH, the following
mixtures should be diluted to 1 L (final volume) with H2O.
