Description

Disodium Iron(III) Pentetate is a high-purity, water-soluble chelating agent specifically designed to bind and stabilize ferric (Fe³⁺) ions. This compound is critical for applications requiring precise control of iron bioavailability and the prevention of unwanted metal-catalyzed reactions. It is an essential raw material and intermediate for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and advanced chemical synthesis sectors, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or excipient in iron chelation therapy and as a stabilizer in injectable solutions.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Serves as a key component in in vitro diagnostic kits, particularly for clinical chemistry assays that require controlled iron levels.
• Chemical Synthesis & Catalysis: Acts as a specialized ligand or sequestrant in research and industrial processes to modulate iron's catalytic activity.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Employed in high-end formulations as a stabilizer to protect product integrity against metal-ion-induced degradation.
• Agricultural & Horticultural Solutions: Used in micronutrient fertilizers and plant growth regulators to deliver bioavailable iron in a controlled manner.
• Industrial Water Treatment: Functions as a sequestering agent in boiler and cooling water systems to control scale and corrosion caused by iron deposits.

Quality Control

Our Disodium Iron(III) Pentetate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and composition. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, iron content, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment supports compliance with cGMP guidelines and relevant pharmacopeial standards for pharmaceutical-grade materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
