EDTA Disodium Salt serves as a solid form of EDTA salt with 2 parts of sodium anion. EDTA 2Na is usually manufactured to be used in chelating process for cleaning applications and formulation products. EDTA Disodium Salt works as an extensively used chelator of divalent cations such as Ca2+.
EDTA (Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid) is a chelating agent, a general chemical, and a sequestrant. In molecular biology applications, it is used to aid in minimizing metal ion contaminants. It is also used to facilitate enzymatic reactions that could be inhibited by heavy metal traces. It also aids in the inhibition of enzymes such as metallo proteases, that require divalent cations for activity.
