Application

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dipotassium salt dehydrate can be used to study chelators, biochemicals and reagents. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dipotassium salt dehydrate has been used to study the three dimensional hierarchy structures from self-assembly of quantum dots. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dipotassium salt dehydrate acts as a catalyst by partially removing thiol stabilizers from the nanoparticle surface to induce the stabilization reaction of CdTe nanoparticles.
Used to eliminate inhibition of enzyme catalyzed reactions due to traces of heavy metals

CdTe nanoparticles stabilized by l-cysteine are chemically transformed into CdS nanoparticles of the same diameter via an intermediate CdTeS alloy without any auxiliary source of sulfur. The reaction is induced by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid dipotassium salt dehydrate (EDTA), which was demonstrated

We have reported first example of 3D hierarchy structure from self-assembly of water-soluble QDs followed by chemical reaction control. After addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, dipotassium salt dehydrate (EDTA) into L-cysteine-stabilized CdTe QD solution, the color of solution was observed to

High saturated fat (HF-S) diets increase intramyocellular lipid, an effect ameliorated by omega-3 fatty acids in vitro and in vivo, though little is known about sex- and muscle fiber type-specific effects. We compared effects of standard chow, HF-S, and 7.5%
