Description: Used as a substrate for citrate lyase1, a buffer component; an anticoagulant.2,3 To make a sodium citrate buffer use equimolar concentrations (typically approximately 0.05 M concentration) of citric acid, free acid and sodium citrate. Add equal volumes of each solution and titrate to the desired pH. For anticoagulation use it is typically used at a concentration of approximately 0.129 M (i.e. for 4.5 ml blood use 16.0 mg sodium citrate and 2.1 mg citric acid).
