Potassium carbonate 1% as a laboratory chemical is a high quality single solution, which is suitable for various applications in the laboratory field due to its purity and precision. The chemical formula for potassium carbonate is K2CO3, a water-soluble and hygroscopic salt consisting of the carbonate anion (CO3^2-) and two potassium cations (K+).

This potassium carbonate solution is often used in staining kits such as the CAMPBELL-SWITZER silver pyridine carbonate, which is applied for highlighting plant cell structures and other microscopic studies. By using this solution, the finest structures can be visualized precisely and clearly, enabling researchers to obtain meaningful results.

The special chemical properties of potassium carbonate, such as its ability to neutralize acids, allow this solution to be used in other experimental and analytical applications. These include, for example, titrations as well as buffer solutions for regulating the pH value in various experimental setups.
