Used in analytical laboratories for calibration of instruments such as spectrophotometers and ion chromatographs to accurately measure phosphate concentrations in water, soil, and biological samples. Commonly applied in environmental testing to monitor phosphate levels in wastewater, rivers, and lakes, helping assess eutrophication risks. Also utilized in agricultural labs to evaluate soil nutrient content for crop management. In clinical settings, serves as a reference for determining phosphate levels in blood and urine samples. Ensures compliance with regulatory standards in food and beverage industries by validating phosphate content in products.
