EDTA (dipotassium dihydrate)

EDTA dipotassium dihydrate is a metal ion chelator that forms stable and water-soluble chelates with a variety of metal ions. EDTA dipotassium is commonly used as a blood anticoagulant, which can effectively prevent blood coagulation and maintain the morphology and function of cells in blood samples. In the industrial field, EDTA dipotassium can be used to remove the adverse effects of metal ions and prevent oxidation and deterioration caused by metal ions[1][2].
