Description

Ethylenediamine Tetraacetic Acid, ACS is an ACS grade buffer component and chelating agent.

• Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a calcium chelator used to eliminate inhibition of enzyme catalyzed reactions due to traces of heavy metals.
• For use as an anticoagulant, disodium or tripotassium salts of EDTA are most commonly used.
• EDTA prevents platelet aggregation and is therefore the preferred anticoagulant for platelet counts.
• EDTA is an inhibitor of metalloproteases and metal-activated proteases at an effective concentration of 1 to 10 μM.
• It acts as a chelator of the zinc ion in the active site of metalloproteases, but EDTA can also inhibit other metal ion-dependent proteases such as calcium-dependent cysteine proteases.
• EDTA interferes with biological processes which are metal-dependent.
• It is a buffer component.
