Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
I received a shipment of UltraPure 0.5M EDTA, pH 8.0 (Cat. No. 15575020), but it was stored below 15-30 degrees C over the weekend. Can you confirm this product will still be stable?
We do not have specific data for temperatures below 15 degrees C for UltraPure 0.5M EDTA, pH 8.0 (Cat. No. 15575020). However, as long as the product was not frozen, the performance should not be affected.
EDTA binds Mg2+ and Ca2+, while EGTA specifically binds to Ca2+. The use of EGTA may be favored in case where subsequent treatment with Mg2+ dependent enzymes is planned.
How does EDTA work?
EDTA reversibly binds Mg2+, Ca2+ as well as other divalent cations, thus inhibiting enyzmes that require these cations for activity.
