Chelators

Santa Cruz Biotechnology now offers a broad range of chelators for use in various applications. Chelators are chemical compounds that can form multiple bonds with a single metal ion, effectively sequestering the metal and preventing it from participating in unwanted chemical reactions. These compounds are indispensable in scientific research for their ability to control metal ion concentrations in biological and chemical systems. Chelators are used extensively in biochemistry and molecular biology to study metal-dependent processes, such as enzyme catalysis and signal transduction, by selectively binding and removing metal ions from the solution. They are also employed in environmental science to remediate heavy metal contamination in soils and water, as well as in analytical chemistry to improve the accuracy of metal ion detection and quantification. Furthermore, chelators are crucial in the preparation of samples for techniques such as chromatography and mass spectrometry, where they help to stabilize metal ions and prevent interference with the analytical process. By offering a comprehensive selection of high-quality chelators, Santa Cruz Biotechnology supports a wide range of research activities, enabling scientists to precisely manipulate metal ion concentrations and investigate their roles in various biological, environmental, and chemical systems.
