Lab Pro EDTA TETRASODIUM SALT ACS 1lb.

What is Lab Pro EDTA Tetrasodium Salt?

Lab Pro EDTA Tetrasodium Salt, Ultra Pure is a chelating agent with a wide-ranging ability to sequester polyvalent cations. It is commonly used to bind divalent metal ions such as calcium (Ca²⁺), helping to reduce metal ion interference in laboratory and research applications.

This compound is used in experiments as a simple model for amino acid components of proteins. EDTA is also widely applied to minimize metal ion contaminants and to facilitate enzymatic reactions that may otherwise be inhibited by trace amounts of heavy metals.

EDTA Tetrasodium Salt can inhibit enzymes that require divalent cations for activity, including metalloproteases. Research has shown that this compound may act as a potential inhibitor of calpain.
