Sodium Citrate Dihydrate

Sodium citrate is widely used as a biological buffer due to its ability to resist changes in pH. In addition to this, it also serves as an effective agent in breaking protein cross-linking, thereby eliminating antigens and epitopes in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded sections. This, in turn, enhances the staining strength of antibodies. Moreover, sodium citrate exhibits anticoagulant activity by functioning as a calcium chelator, leading to the disruption of blood clot formation. Its remarkable solubility in water, exceptional chelating ability, biodegradation properties, and capacity to disperse and resist the redeposition of metal ions like Ca2+ and Mg2+ further distinguish sodium citrate.
