[Histonet] making 10 % EDTA

Hi Histonetters, I have purchased a liquid EDTA solution that is .25M. I need to make 10% EDTA. Do I just dilute it 1/10 with DI water? Thanks Kimberly C. Tuttle HT (ASCP) Pathology Biorepository and Research Core University of Maryland Room NBW58, UMMC 22 S. Greene St Baltimore, MD

The MW of EDTA is 294.2. A 1M solution would therefore contain 294.2 g/L, so a .25M solution would contain 73.55 g/L. A 10% solution would contain 100g/L, so your solution is already less concentrated than 10%. ___ Histonet mailing list

The molecular weight of the EDTA will vary depending on chemical makeup - regardless, the solution you have is probably less than 10% already. EDTA tri-sodium salt with MW 358 at 0.25 M is 89.5 g per liter or 8.95 g per 100 ml or 8.95%. -Original Message- From:

Don't forget EDTA doesn't fully go into solution until the pH approaches 8.0. You will need to prepare a sodium hydroxide solution for pH adjustment. On Wed, Jun 26, 2013 at 3:46 PM, Goins, Tresa tgo...@mt.gov wrote: The molecular weight of the EDTA will vary depending on chemical makeup -
