Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid

Product Overview

Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid, commonly known as Pentetic Acid or DTPA, is a versatile polyaminocarboxylic acid characterized by its exceptional chelating properties. With the CAS registry number 67-43-6, this compound serves as a critical building block in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Our manufacturing facility produces this substance under strict quality control protocols to ensure consistency and reliability for downstream synthesis processes.

The molecular structure features multiple carboxymethyl groups attached to a diethylenetriamine backbone, enabling it to form stable complexes with a wide range of metal ions. This unique chemical configuration makes it indispensable for applications requiring precise metal ion management, particularly in the synthesis of advanced medical imaging agents.

Technical Specifications

Quality Assurance and Manufacturing

As a dedicated chemical manufacturer, we prioritize product integrity through comprehensive testing procedures. Each batch of Pentetic Acid undergoes rigorous analysis using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) to verify purity levels and detect trace metal impurities. Our production facilities adhere to international safety and environmental standards, ensuring that every shipment meets the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical clients.

We maintain a robust supply chain capable of supporting large-scale industrial demands. Our quality management system documents every stage of the manufacturing process, from raw material sourcing to final packaging. This transparency allows customers to receive full traceability documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) and safety data sheets with every order.

Industrial and Pharmaceutical Applications

• Serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of Gadoxetate Disodium for MRI contrast agents.
• Utilized as a potent chelating agent in pharmaceutical formulations to stabilize metal-sensitive compounds.
• Employed in industrial water treatment processes to sequester metal ions and prevent scaling.
• Applied in nuclear medicine for decorporation therapies involving heavy metal exposure.
• Used in analytical chemistry as a titrant for complexometric determinations.

Packaging and Storage Guidelines

To maintain optimal stability, Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Acid is packaged in 25kg cardboard drums or customized containers based on client specifications. The product should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Proper handling procedures ensure that the chemical retains its physical and chemical properties throughout its shelf life. We recommend keeping containers tightly closed when not in use to prevent hygroscopic absorption.
