Citric acid monohydrate, by Securex Lab Sciences, is an organic acid. It is manufactured using crystallisation of citric acid. It has a calcium chelating activity and hence, it is an anticoagulant. Citric acid monohydrate is also an antioxidant and hence, is involved in the pharmaceutical industry. It is part of industrial and pharmaceutical radiolabelling procedures. In the pharmaceutical industry, citric acid monohydrate is use as a release-modifying agent, that is, it coagulates drugs and mediates the slow or fast release of the drugs. In the field of microscopy, citric acid monohydrate is used in the form of citrate buffer during preparation of platelets. It is used in the preparation of Tris-citrate buffer, a common electrophoresis buffer.
