Sign in to saveAlso known as Bapeta, 1,2-Bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid, 1,2-Bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid
BAPTA (1,2-bis(o-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid) is an aminopolycarboxylic acid with a high affinity for calcium. It is a white solid. It is used in research to chelate Ca2+, as it behaves similarly to EGTA and EDTA.
