Title
EDTA DI SODIUM SALT
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA) is a blood anticoagulant and contributes to the pathogenesis of pseudothrombocytopenia.
It chelates with calcium in the blood and inhibits clotting and is routinely used in haematological tests.
Field Note
Note
Disodium edetate is tasteless, odorless or slightly salty white or milky white crystal or granular powder, odorless and tasteless. It is soluble in water and extremely difficult to dissolve in ethanol. It is an important chelating agent that can chelate metal ions in solution. Prevent metal-induced discoloration, deterioration.
Application
In molecular biology applications, addition of EDTA minimizes the impact of metal ion contaminants. Also used to facilitate enzymatic reactions that could be inhibited by heavy metal traces.
