Description

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tripotassium salt is used to eliminate enzyme inhibition by traces of heavy metals, and to inhibit enzymes that require divalent cations as cofactors. And it is also used to study chelators, biochemicals and reagents. EDTA tripotassium salt has been used in a study to assess the safety of EDTA and HEDTA ingredients in cosmetic formulations. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
