Its structure consists of a polymeric borate backbone.
 The Li⁺ centers are bound to four and five oxygen ligands.
 Boron centers are trigonal and tetrahedral.

Lithium borate can be used in the laboratory as LB buffer for gel electrophoresis of DNA and RNA.
 It is also used in the borax fusion method to  vitrify mineral powder specimens for analysis by  WDXRF spectroscopy.
