What is Tri-Sodium Citrate? Tri-Sodium Citrate, also known as sodium citrate, is the sodium salt of citric acid. In its 3.8% solution form, it appears as a clear, colourless liquid with a slightly alkaline taste. It is commonly used as a buffering agent, emulsifier, and preservative in various industrial, laboratory, and food applications. Sodium citrate is also widely used in medical and pharmaceutical formulations due to its ability to regulate pH levels and act as an anticoagulant.

This solution is particularly important in the food and beverage industry for its role in controlling acidity and stabilising mixtures, while in laboratory settings, it is used for creating buffered solutions in biochemical assays and diagnostics.

High-Quality Formulation: We use only carefully sourced Tri-Sodium Citrate and blend it with Distilled Water to ensure our customers can safely use it for any application.

Manufactured in the UK: Manufactured and bottled using non-toxic, chemical-resistant bottles, providing reliable and trusted quality to our customers.

Frequent Uses

Buffering Agent
Commonly used as a buffering agent to prepare buffer solutions in biological and chemical research. Its ability to maintain a stable pH makes it essential for experiments requiring precise pH control, including enzyme assays and DNA extractions.

Food and Beverage
This solution serves as a food additive, where it acts as a preservative, acidulant, and emulsifying agent. It helps to stabilise beverages, dairy products, and processed foods, prolonging shelf life and improving texture.

Pharmaceuticals
Used to adjust pH levels and maintain the stability of active ingredients. It is also employed in anticoagulant solutions, where it helps prevent blood clotting by chelating calcium ions.

Medical Applications
Often found in intravenous fluids, where it helps manage blood pH and acts as an electrolyte replenisher. It can also be used in the treatment of conditions like acidosis.

Cleaning Agent
Due to its mildly alkaline nature, sodium citrate is used in some cleaning formulations, particularly for removing stains and scale buildup, as it helps dissolve calcium and magnesium salts.
