The key is Crest ProHealth's exclusive polyfluorite system, which is a combination of stannous fluoride and sodium hexametaphosphate.

To avoid grain flocculation during pre-treatments, 1% solution of sodium hexametaphosphate [(NaP[O.

They were dissolved in 2% (w/v) sodium hexametaphosphate, and then the cell mass was collected by centrifugation and dried [12].

Diet Green Tea with Mixed Berries contains citric acid, green tea, natural flavors, sodium hexametaphosphate and ascorbic acid, phosphoric acid, sodium benzoate (to preserve freshness), aspartame, potassium sorbate (to preserve freshness), citrus pectin, acesulfame potassium, and calcium disodium EDTA (to protect flavor).

Some have suggested that alginate swabs would be better for recovery of spores, since they dissolve completely in sodium hexametaphosphate and the potential for spores to be retained in the swab would be eliminated.

After the surface is wiped, the swab is dissolved in Ringer's solution containing sodium hexametaphosphate to free the microorganisms collected in the strands.

In addition, permeabilization of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria with EDTA and possibly sodium hexametaphosphate (NaHMP) sensitizes these bacteria to nisin.
