Product Information

• Name: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Dianhydride
• Synonyms: EDTA Dianhydride4,4'-Ethylenebis(2,6-morpholinedione)
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethylenediaminetetraacetic dianhydride (EDTA) is a dianhydride that is used in wastewater treatment. It is a strong chelating agent and reacts with metal ions to form complexes, which are then removed as sludge. EDTA also has amide groups that can react with water under acidic conditions, which increases its adsorption capacity. This compound is thermally stable and has a high chemical stability in the presence of human serum and basic fibroblasts. EDTA binds to DNA by electrostatic interactions, forming hydrogen bonds between the amine group of the EDTA molecule and the phosphate groups of DNA. This prevents cross-linking of DNA chains and results in an increased rate of DNA synthesis.
