Application

Sodium polytungstate (SPT) is widely used to produce heavy liquid for sink /float analysis (gravity separation) and density gradient centrifugation due to its very high solubility in water.

Other Notes

A new medium for density-gradient centrifugation, the density can be adjusted to up to 3.1 g/ml

An increasing number of studies constrain the importance of iron for the long-term retention of phosphorus (P) under anoxic conditions, i.e. the formation of reduced iron phosphate minerals such as vivianite (Fe3(PO4)2⋅8H2O). Much remains unknown about vivianite formation, the factors
