I would not take that for granted…see the comments by Tom Peat. It is easy to measure with some
coarse and the fine strips both the unbuffered cocktail and drop pH – sometimes knowing the drop pH can be relevant for the physiological state. Mixing unbuffered cocktail and stock buffer also works to give an initial idea.

Many thanks for the excellent replies. I am very happy with the value of 5.1 which two of you kindly sent.

While there is no pH adjustment made during the formulation of this reagent, the 20% w/v PEG 3350, 0.2 M Ammonium citrate dibasic in deionized water results in a measured pH at 25 degrees Celsius of 5.1. The formulation as well as measured pH, refractive index, conductivity and other details can be found here https://hamptonresearch.com/product-PEG-Ion-PEG-Ion-2-PEG-Ion-HT-11.html under the Support Material(s). Hope this helps.

Does anyone know the pH of JCSG+ condition A3 which is stated as 0.2 M ammonium citrate dibasic, 20% (v/v) PEG3350. I can't really measure it myself, so any help much appreciated! _____ To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB <https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1> &A=1 _____ To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB <https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1> &A=1 ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the CCP4BB list, click the following link: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=CCP4BB&A=1
