Iminodiacetic acid (Cat No.:R029893) is a versatile organic compound with the molecular formula C4H7NO4. It contains two carboxylic acid groups and one secondary amine, allowing it to act as a tridentate chelating agent. IDA is widely used in coordination chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of metal complexes and as a ligand in affinity chromatography, notably in immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) for protein purification. It also serves as a building block in pharmaceuticals, herbicides, and detergents. Its strong metal-binding properties make it valuable in both industrial and biochemical applications.
