EDTA DISODIUM SALT DIHYDRATE

EDTA Disodium Salt Dihydrate is widely used in tissue culture:

• Metal ion chelator: EDTA binds and stabilizes divalent cations (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺), preventing unwanted precipitation in culture media.
  • Improves nutrient availability: Chelation keeps micronutrients in a soluble and bioavailable form, supporting consistent plant growth in vitro.
  • Prevents oxidation reactions: By binding metal ions, EDTA reduces oxidative damage and stabilizes sensitive vitamins and hormones in culture media.
  • Used in plant tissue culture: A key component in MS and other basal media, maintaining nutrient balance and enhancing nutrient uptake by cultured tissues.
  • Enhances media clarity: Prevents turbidity and improves long-term stability of sterilized media formulations.
