** If you want a desired pH, you can use a ratio of hydrogen phosphate and dihydrogen phosphate salts to get the pH you desire.  There are tables that correlate desired pH values and concentrations to volumes you should use.

** Sodium and potassium phosphates are interchangeable.  You can use either based on whether you would rather have Na or K in soltuion.

** You can also start with one buffer and use HCl or NaOH to force the pH in one direction or another.  For example, if you add enough HCl to a PO<sub>4</sub><sup>3-</sup> solution, you will force the phosphate into a pH7.4 solution with comparable amounts of HPO<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup>) and H2PO<sub>4</sub><sup>−</sup>.
