EDTA (disodium) is the disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, a widely used chelating agent that forms stable complexes with divalent and trivalent metal ions. Supplied as a solid reagent for research and analytical applications, it is used to sequester metal contaminants, stabilize samples, and prepare buffered solutions for biochemical and analytical workflows.
- Chelates calcium and other metal ions to prevent interference in assays.
- Stabilizes enzyme and protein solutions by removing trace metals.
- Improves accuracy of analytical measurements by binding metal contaminants.
- Solid reagent form suitable for precise formulation and storage.
- Compatible with aqueous buffers and common laboratory procedures.
