Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrasodium (Cat No.:R071410) is a chelating agent commonly used to bind metal ions in various applications. It is often utilized in laboratory settings, as well as in industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. By sequestering metal ions, EDTA tetrasodium prevents unwanted interactions that could degrade products or hinder chemical reactions. Additionally, it is frequently employed in medical treatments for heavy metal poisoning and in water treatment systems to reduce hardness. EDTA tetrasodium is generally considered safe when used appropriately but should be handled with care in concentrated forms.
