Product Overview
This EDTA powder is a high-purity, ACS-grade reagent designed for demanding laboratory applications. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is a widely recognized chelating agent that forms stable complexes with metal ions, making it indispensable in analytical chemistry. The BAKER ANALYZED™ certification ensures consistent quality and reliability, meeting strict ACS specifications for purity and performance. Its fine powder form allows for easy dissolution and precise dosing in experimental procedures. The reagent is particularly valued for its ability to sequester metal ions, preventing interference in sensitive reactions. This product is manufactured under stringent quality controls to guarantee lot-to-lot consistency, making it suitable for applications requiring reproducible results. The 500g pack size offers an optimal balance between bulk savings and freshness preservation. As a versatile laboratory staple, this EDTA powder maintains its effectiveness across a wide pH range, though optimal chelation typically occurs at pH 7-10. The product’s stability under normal storage conditions ensures long shelf life without degradation of its chelating properties.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of this EDTA powder in water?
This EDTA powder is freely soluble in water, typically dissolving at concentrations up to 10% (w/v) at room temperature. For higher concentrations, warming the solution may be necessary.
2. How should this EDTA powder be stored for maximum shelf life?
Store the powder in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Under these conditions, the product maintains its stability for several years.
3. Is this EDTA powder compatible with all common laboratory buffers?
The powder is generally compatible with most laboratory buffers, but may precipitate in highly acidic solutions. For optimal performance, adjust to neutral or slightly alkaline pH before use.
4. What distinguishes ACS grade EDTA from other purity grades?
ACS grade EDTA meets the strict purity standards set by the American Chemical Society, with minimum assay of 99.4% and tightly controlled limits for impurities like heavy metals and insoluble matter.
5. Can this EDTA powder be used for preparing standard solutions?
Yes, this high-purity EDTA is suitable for preparing standard solutions when properly dried and accurately weighed, making it ideal for titrimetric applications.
