Uses

For solid and liquid food preparation. This product is not intended for use in the manufacture of sterile drug products. The purchaser assumes all responsibility for additional processing, testing, labeling and registration for such use.

 

Applications

1. Stronger Anticoagulant Effect: Due to its high concentration, TSC 8% is commonly used in situations that require a stronger anticoagulant effect, such as in blood dialysis to prevent blood clotting. It is also widely used in blood sampling and storage, especially when a higher dose of anticoagulation is needed.

2. Water Treatment and Industrial Applications: In water treatment and cleaning agents, TSC 8% is used for water softening, scale removal, and metal ion chelation, as its higher concentration allows it to more effectively bind to metal ions.

3.Use in the Food Industry: The high concentration of TSC 8% can be used in certain processed foods as an acidity regulator or preservative, but generally, this high concentration needs to be diluted before being used in food processing.

 

Compendial compliance

8% Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate meet all requirements of USP, FCC, Ph, Eur when tested according to these
compendia.
