Industry Wise Application
Pharmaceutical & Medical Application
- Anticoagulant in Blood Collection:It acts as an anticoagulant in blood collection tubes (blue top) and blood storage bags, chelating calcium ions to prevent clotting.
- Alkalinizing Agent:Used to treat metabolic acidosis and to increase urine pH to help prevent gout or kidney stones.
- Buffering Agent in Medicine:Controls the pH in oral, topical, and injectable formulations to ensure drug stability.
- Antacid and Nausea Relief:Used in liquid medications for temporary relief of nausea, indigestion, or sour stomach.
- Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS):Used in solutions to restore electrolyte balance and reduce acidity in the stomach.
- Dialysis:Employed as a citrate anticoagulant lock in catheters to prevent infection
Food & Beverage Industry
- Acidity Regulator:Regulates acidity in beverages, gelatin desserts, jam, and sweets, providing a mild, slightly tart flavor.
- Emulsifying Salt in Cheese:Crucial for processed cheese, allowing it to melt smoothly without separating oil from protein.
- Stabilizer in Dairy:Prevents milk from curdling in products like creamers, condensed milk, and desserts.
- Preservative:Inhibits microbial growth in food products by acting as a chelating agent that binds metal ions.
Laboratory & Scientific Application
- Antigen Retrieval:Frequently used in histology to break protein cross-links in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections for immunohistochemistry (IHC).
- Biological Buffer:Used in laboratory settings to maintain stable pH levels for experiments and enzymatic studies.
- Analytical Chemistry:Acts as a reagent in amino acid analysis.
- Nanotechnology:Used as a reducing agent in the synthesis of gold and copper nanoparticles.
Personal Care & Cosmetics Application
- pH Adjuster/Balancer:Used in shampoos, conditioners, and lotions to maintain an optimal skin-friendly pH.
- Chelating Agent:Removes metal ions to improve the effectiveness and stability of shampoos and liquid soaps.
- Skin Care Ingredient:Used in moisturisers and cleansers for its ability to stabilize formulations
Industrial & Other Application
- Water Softener & Detergent Builder:Used in detergents to improve cleaning efficiency by sequestering calcium and magnesium ions.
- Metal Cleaning:Helps remove metal oxides and rust in industrial cleaning processes.
- Electroplating:Acts as a complexing agent and buffer in metal finishing baths.
