0.5M EDTA, pH 8.0 is supplied by HiMedia. It is available in the form of a colourless solution with a pH in the range of 7.9 to 8.1. 0.5M EDTA buffer is mainly used as a chelating agent during metal dependent enzymatic reactions as it has the ability to "sequester" metal ions such as Ca2+ and Fe3+. After being bound by EDTA, metal ions remain in solution but exhibit diminished reactivity. Nucleic acids are normally stored in TE buffer that contains 1 mM EDTA, which prevents degradation of nucleic acids by metal dependent nucleases. 0.5M EDTA buffer is also used as a chelating agent in tissue culture as it binds to calcium and prevents the joining of cadherins (Ca2+ dependent cell-cell adhesion) between cells and as a result clumping of cells is prevented. It is advisable to store this product room temperature (15-25C). These solutions are ready for use and require no extra preparation.

0.5M EDTA pH 8.0 is an aqueous solution prepared by dissolving EDTA, disodium salt, dihydrate in distilled, deionized water and adjusting the pH to 8.0 with Sodium hydroxide. This buffer is suitable for biochemistry or molecular biology applications as a chelator of divalent metal ions.
