FAQs
What is the difference between CDTA and EDTA?
CDTA (trans-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N’,N’-tetraacetic Acid) forms stronger complexes with certain metal ions compared to EDTA, particularly with calcium and magnesium. Its rigid cyclohexane ring structure provides different selectivity in chelation reactions.
Can this product be used for cell culture applications?
While primarily used in biochemical assays, the AR/ACS grade purity makes it suitable for cell culture applications where metal ion control is critical. However, we recommend checking specific protocol requirements for your cell line.
What is the solubility of CDTA monohydrate?
CDTA monohydrate is soluble in water and alkaline solutions. For complete dissolution, we recommend adding it slowly to warm water while stirring. The solubility is approximately 1 g/100ml at room temperature.
How should I store this chemical?
Store the product in its original container, tightly sealed, at room temperature (15-30°C). Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain stability and prevent degradation.
Is this product suitable for HPLC applications?
While not specifically formulated for HPLC, the high purity (99% AR/ACS grade) makes it suitable for many analytical applications. For HPLC use, we recommend checking compatibility with your specific mobile phase and column requirements.
