Product Overview
ETHYLENEDIAMINE TETRAACETIC ACID FERRIC SODIUM SALT TRIHYDRATE (Ferric EDTA) is an Extra Pure-grade chelating agent widely used in laboratories for its ability to stabilize iron ions in solution. This crystalline powder ensures high solubility in water, making it ideal for applications requiring controlled iron delivery, such as plant tissue culture, microbial growth media, and enzymatic assays. The trihydrate form enhances stability, while the Extra Pure designation guarantees minimal trace metal contamination, ensuring reliable results in sensitive experiments. Its role as a sequestering agent prevents iron precipitation, maintaining bioavailability in nutrient solutions. The compound’s consistent performance and batch-to-batch uniformity make it a preferred choice for researchers and educators working with iron-dependent biochemical pathways. Store in a cool, dry place to preserve integrity.
