EDTA Tripotassium Dihydrate CAS 65501-24-8

EDTA Tripotassium Dihydrate CAS 65501-24-8

Tripotassium EDTA, also known as tripotassium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, EDTA-K3 for short, is a chemical substance and a chemical raw material, CAS 65501-24-8, white crystalline powder, tasteless, soluble in water, absorbent Tide, molecular weight 442.56. It is often used as a blood anticoagulant and added to vacuum test tubes for pretreatment of blood samples in blood collection and testing.

1.What is EDTA tripotassium dihydrate?

Sometimes many buyers will also specifically ask about EDTA tripotassium dihydrate. In fact, this is the same substance as EDTA tripotassium. There is not much difference. The main difference is between anhydrous and dihydrate. The latter is more molecular than the former. There are two more water of crystallization. The powder form of tripotassium EDTA is easy to absorb moisture and become a substance containing crystal water, but EDTA tripotassium dihydrate already contains two crystal waters, which is relatively more stable.

2.EDTA tripotassium dihydrate action principle

EDTA tripotassium dihydrate is formulated into a solution and added to a test tube. It will not destroy the active components of the blood, and has a protective effect. It will not affect the hypertrophy of white blood cells, and has the least effect on red blood cells. It can prevent platelets from fully gathering, so Suitable for routine blood tests. Due to its anticoagulant effect, it cannot be used in coagulation experiments, nor can it be applied to the determination of calcium, potassium, sodium ions, etc. It has high solubility and fast anticoagulation speed.

3.EDTA tripotassium dihydrate configuration method

EDTA tripotassium dihydrate is in the form of white crystalline powder. It only needs to be dissolved in deionized water, and it can be added to the test tube after being prepared into a solution with a certain content and concentration. However, it should be noted that when configuring, control the addition of water consumption, and leave a certain volume on the cleaning utensils, otherwise the concentration will decrease due to overcapacity.

4.EDTA tripotassium dihydrate storage conditions

According to its powder appearance, it needs to be sealed and stored in a dry and normal temperature, away from light, and not exposed to moisture. If it is a prepared solution, it needs to be sealed and stored in a sterile state at room temperature. Storage will change performance and make test results inaccurate.
