Derived from Germania- meaning Germany. Since it was first discovered by Clemens Winkler in Germany.


Why is disodium salt of EDTA preferred to EDTA?

The disodium salt of EDTA is preferred over EDTA because it is more soluble in water, which makes it easier to handle and use in aqueous solutions. Additionally, the disodium salt has a higher stability in a wider range of pH levels compared to EDTA alone, making it more versatile for various applications.


How much quantity of EDTA dissolved in 1000ml to get 0.01 m solution of EDTA?

To prepare a 0.01 M solution of EDTA in 1000 ml, you would need 37.22 grams of EDTA disodium salt dihydrate (C10H14N2Na2O8·2H2O) or approximately 0.1 moles. Dissolve the EDTA in water and make up the volume to 1000 ml to get a 0.01 M solution.


What is EDTA whole blood?

EDTA whole blood refers to a blood sample that has been collected in a tube containing the anticoagulant ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). EDTA helps prevent blood clotting by binding to calcium ions, allowing the blood sample to be used for various laboratory tests such as complete blood count (CBC) and blood chemistry analysis.


How do you prepare 1mM EDTA from 0.1M EDTA?

0.1M is 1/10 molar whereas 1mM is 1 millimolar and thus 1/1000 molar. There is thus a 1:100 dilution. So 10:1000 would be the same. To a 1000ml volumetric flask, pipete 10mls of 0.1M EDTA solution. Make up to the mark with deionized water. Mix and shake and you will have 1000mls of 1mM EDTA solution.
