Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Natrium edetate (sodium EDTA) is a versatile chelating agent used to sequester metal ions by forming octahedral coordination complexes. It prevents catalytic oxidation, stabilizes formulations and inhibits metal‑dependent biochemical reactions. Its broad metal affinity makes it useful in analytical chemistry and biological systems.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in metal‑ion control studies, enzymatic‑reaction inhibition research, buffer chelation modelling, and formulation stabilization assays.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include irritation, potential chelation of essential minerals, and renal stress with high exposure. Handle with chelating‑agent precautions.
