نمک دی سدیم ادتا

EDTA Disodium Salt is a high-purity chelating agent widely used in pharmaceutical, biochemical, and analytical laboratories for metal ion sequestration, buffer preparation, and stabilization of formulations sensitive to trace metals.

🏭⚗️ Production
Produced by neutralizing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) with high-purity sodium hydroxide under controlled conditions to form the disodium salt dihydrate. The resulting crystalline product is purified, dried, and tested for heavy metal content and chelating capacity to meet analytical and pharmaceutical-grade specifications (e.g., USP, BP, or EP standards). Supplied as a white, crystalline, odorless powder, stable under recommended storage conditions.

🔬 Properties
A white to nearly white crystalline solid, freely soluble in water, forming a clear, colorless solution. It acts as a strong complexing agent for divalent and trivalent metal ions such as Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe³⁺, and Cu²⁺. Exhibits excellent chemical stability over a wide pH range and is non-volatile, non-flammable, and only slightly hygroscopic when stored properly in tightly sealed containers.

🧪 Applications
Used extensively in pharmaceutical formulations to prevent metal-catalyzed oxidation and degradation of active ingredients. Serves as a stabilizer, preservative enhancer, and anticoagulant in laboratory assays. Commonly used in buffer and reagent preparation, analytical titrations (e.g., complexometric titrations with Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺), and as a chelating agent in tissue culture, diagnostic reagents, and industrial processes requiring controlled metal ion removal.

⚠️ Safety
Classified as low toxicity but may cause mild irritation to eyes, skin, or respiratory tract upon prolonged exposure. Handle with gloves, lab coat, and safety goggles in a well-ventilated laboratory. Avoid inhalation of dust or contact with mucous membranes. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, away from strong oxidizers and moisture. Dispose of waste according to institutional and environmental safety guidelines.
