EDTA, is a chelating agent with many applications in molecular biology. EDTA is often used in buffers as a metal ion inhibitor to maintain the stability and integrity of biological samples. EDTA binds to metal cations by forming a stable octahedral complex.

Water hardness can be measured using a procedure known as complexometric titration by adding a known concentration of the chelating agent EDTA through a burette to a sample containing an unknown amount of calcium and magnesium ions. EDTA reacts and captures these metal ions creating a larger metal complex.
Calcium sulfate, CaSO4, is a naturally occurring calcium salt. It is commonly known in its dihydrate form, CaSO4∙2H2O, a white or colourless powder called gypsum
Buffer capsules are used for preparation of phosphate buffer solutions with stable pH, buffer capacity and low temperature coefficients. Buffer capsules are easy to use and dissolve easily. After that the pH value is automatically set at the necessary level.
Zinc granules are unevenly shaped particles of zinc that are formed by pouring molten zinc into water. Zinc granules have a greater particle size as compared to zinc powder. Zinc is employed in the manufacture of hydrogen gas in the form of granules due to its enormous surface area.
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a common inorganic compound with a large number of uses. It is insoluble in water but soluble in dilute acids and bases. Its melting point is extremely high—1975 ºC, where it also decomposes. ZnO exists in two common crystalline forms: wurtzite and zincblende.
Buffer solution, pH 4.0 ± 0.02 is used to establish and maintain an ion activity within narrow range. It is most commonly used to establish hydrogen-ion activity for the calibration of pH meters, in analytical procedures. It is also used to maintain stability of various dosage forms.
