EDTA Disodium Salt Solution (0.05% in DPBS)

Description

EDTA Disodium Salt Solution (0.05% in DPBS)

EDTA Disodium Salt Solution (0.05% in DPBS) contains EDTA, which is a polyamino carboxylic acid (PACA) organic chelating agent used in many enzyme buffers and, at higher concentrations, as an enzyme inactivator. It is just used in metal chelation but serves many other purposes such as, ion exchange and antioxidation procedures, as well as in spectrophotometric titration and other chemical procedures. Its prominence as a chelating agent arises from its ability to sequester di- and tri-cationic metal ions such as Ca²⁺ and Fe³⁺. After being bound by EDTA, metal ions remain in solution while exhibiting diminished capacity as they are extensively enveloped and, as a consequence, their catalytic properties are often suppressed.
