Ethylenediamine-N,N,N’,N’-tetraacetic Acid-13C4 (α-labels) is a form of EDTA (a common chelating agent) where four carbon atoms at the alpha positions are replaced with the carbon-13 isotope. This isotopic labeling is particularly useful in studies involving metal ion chelation, environmental chemistry, and biochemical research. The carbon-13 labels allow for precise tracking and analysis using NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, facilitating detailed investigation into the binding interactions and behavior of EDTA in complex systems. Despite the isotopic substitution, it retains the same chelating properties as the non-labeled version, making it valuable for both research and industrial applications.
