What project is EDTA potassium used for?
EDTA, also known as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, has many categories and can be extended to over 50. Today we will briefly learn about the category of EDTA tripotassium, also known as
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. Its CAS number is 65501-24-8, which is a white crystalline powder, odorless, and water-soluble substance. As a special chemical substance, which projects can it be
applied to?
1、 Extracorporeal anticoagulants
In blood tests at hospitals, many colorful anticoagulant tubes can be seen, and EDTA tripotassium salt is often used as an extracorporeal anticoagulant in vacuum blood collection. Neutral EDTA
tripotassium does not affect the pH of blood samples, and its ability to chelate calcium ions is stronger than EDTA dipotassium, resulting in better anticoagulant effects.
2、 Dispersion of colloids
Adding tripotassium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid to the colloidal solvent can promote uniform dispersion of the colloid and prevent precipitation aggregation.
3、 Add to detergent
Due to the chelating ability of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tripotassium, it can be configured as a detergent. However, it should be noted that this level of EDTA tripotassium is completely
different from the level of in vitro anticoagulants. It has no toxic effect on the skin when used in detergents, and can also combine with metal ions to soften the water quality and facilitate
washing.
4、 Combined with separation adhesive and sodium fluoride
EDTA tripotassium can be used in combination with separation gel and sodium fluoride. In vacuum blood collection, this combination makes anticoagulation effect better, and can also preserve blood
samples well, ensuring the accuracy of experimental results. The above are mainly the specific usage projects of EDTA potassium trioxide, which can be purchased according to your needs. Hubei
