Used in laboratories for calibration of analytical 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 pollution and 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 in blood and urine samples, supporting diagnosis of metabolic and kidney disorders. Ensures accuracy and consistency in quality control processes across pharmaceutical and food industries where phosphate content must meet regulatory standards.
