Description

Triethylammonium Edta is a specialized chelating agent salt, formed by the combination of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and triethylamine. This compound is valued for its enhanced solubility in organic and mixed solvent systems compared to standard EDTA salts, making it a versatile tool for metal ion sequestration. It is primarily utilized in advanced chemical synthesis, analytical chemistry, and specialized industrial processes where precise metal chelation in non-aqueous environments is required. The product is commercially available under the identifier CAS 60816-63-9.

Application

• As a chelating agent in non-aqueous and mixed-solvent chemical synthesis to control metal catalyst activity or remove trace metal impurities.
• In analytical chemistry as a component of mobile phases or reagents for HPLC and other chromatographic techniques requiring metal-free conditions.
• For the stabilization of sensitive compounds, polymers, or formulations that are degraded by trace amounts of catalytic metal ions.
• In research and development laboratories for studying metal-ligand interactions in organic media.
• As a specialty additive in high-performance lubricants or coatings where metal deactivation is necessary.
• In the preparation of buffer solutions for specific biochemical assays performed in organic solvents.

Quality Control

Our Triethylammonium Edta is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, residual solvents, and moisture content. Specifications can be aligned with research-grade or custom purity requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
