EDTA Dipotassium(EDTA K2)

White crystal powder, odorless, soluble in water, easy to absorb moisture, molecular weight of 404.6, pH value of 4.8±1 (5% aqueous solution, g/ml), solubility in water ≥ 60% (g/ml, 25℃). Stable at room temperature. The main content of EDTA in our company is ≥ 99.0%. See the product test report for other indicators.  

[Scope of application]EDTA salt can protect the cellular components of the blood, does not affect the white blood cell count and size, has the least effect on the morphology of the red blood cell , and can inhibit the aggregation of platelets, which is suitable for general hematological test. Except for the isolation and examination of platelets, it is not suitable for coagulation test and platelet kinetic energy test, nor for the determination of calcium, potassium, sodium, iron, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase and leucine amino peptidase and PCR test.

International Committee for hematology Standardization (ICSH) recommended dipotassium EDTA as anticoagulant for blood cell count and classification. Compared with tripotassium EDTA, it has lower solubility and slower anticoagulation speed.
