Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid CAS 60-00-4 is a widely used chelating agent, which is widely used in various fields.
1. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is used in medicine for chelation therapy to treat heavy metal poisoning (such as lead and mercury). Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid binds to metal ions in the blood and removes them from the body.
2. In biochemistry and molecular biology, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid CAS 60-00-4 is often used as a reagent to bind divalent metal ions (such as calcium and magnesium) to prevent them from interfering with enzymatic reactions.
3. EDTA CAS 60-00-4 is used as a food preservative and stabilizer. It helps prevent discoloration and spoilage by binding metal ions that can catalyze oxidation.
4. In cosmetic formulations, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid improves product stability and efficacy by binding metal ions that may cause degradation.
5. EDTA CAS 60-00-4 is used in fertilizers and soil conditioners to improve plant utilization of micronutrients by chelating metal ions.
6. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is used in various industrial processes including water treatment, where it helps in removing metal ions from water.
7. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid CAS 60-00-4 is used in titration and other analytical methods to determine the concentration of metal ions in solution.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
To properly store EDTA and ensure its stability.
1. Store Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid CAS 60-00-4 in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Typically glass or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers are used.
2. Store the mixture in a cool, dry place. The temperature range is usually 15-25°C (59-77°F).
3. Although EDTA is relatively stable, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is still recommended to store it in a dark or opaque container or in a dark place to minimize light exposure.
4. Make sure the storage area is dry as moisture can affect the quality of the compound.
5. Clearly label containers with the compound name, concentration, and any relevant hazard information.
6. Follow any specific safety guidelines provided in the Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
7. When disposing of any unused or discarded materials, please follow local regulations and guidelines regarding hazardous waste disposal.
