EDTA-1,5-diaminetetraacetic acid

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is an important organic chelating agent that can form stable water-soluble complexes with various metal ions (such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and copper). It is widely used in molecular biology (inhibition of metal-dependent enzymes), cosmetics (stabilizers), detergents, blood anticoagulation, and pharmaceuticals (heavy metal detoxification). It is usually found in disodium and tetrasodium salt forms.
