Application

Chelator of divalent cations. Inhibits enzymes, such as metalloproteases, that require divalent cations for activity.
Titriplex® III (EDTA, ethylene dinitrilo tetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrate) is a commonly used chelating agent. As it is capable of forming complexes with divalent metal cations, it can inhibit diverse enzymes that require such cations for activity. It is broadly used as antioxidant in pharmaceutical formulations and cosmetics. The disodium salt provides improved solubility in water compared to standard EDTA.
