Product Description: DCTA monohydrate is an organic acid. DCTA refers to N,N,N',N' -tetraacetic acid, which has a strong chelating ability. DCTA monohydrate can be used as a chelating agent and coordination reagent for metal ions. DCTA monohydrate, for example, forms stable complexes with many metal ions, including calcium, magnesium and zinc. DCTA modified with ethylene glycol is selective to calcium ions in the presence of magnesium ions[1][2].
Formula: C14H24N2O9
