EGTA is a calcium-specific chelator widely used in biochemical and molecular biology research. Key applications include:
EGTA (5 mM) was added to cell culture media to deplete extracellular Ca²⁺, enabling analysis of calcium-dependent signaling pathways.
A 10 mM EGTA buffer (pH 7.4) was used to isolate calcium-binding proteins from mammalian tissue samples, ensuring minimal protease interference.
EGTA (0.1% w/v) effectively sequestered heavy metal ions in wastewater, achieving 95% removal efficiency in pilot-scale trials.
