Potassium oxalate has many applications. It can be combined with heavy metals in the blood. It can also be used to quantify, purify, strip and bleach different target substances and compounds. When used as an anticoagulant, potassium oxalate has the advantage of high solubility, and its mechanism of action is easy to understand. Mainly the dissolved oxalic acid reacts with calcium ions in the blood to form calcium oxalate precipitate. Therefore, the coagulation function of calcium ions itself is invalid, thereby preventing the coagulation process of calcium ions.
Potassium oxalate is naturally present in the body and is produced when we are excreted in our urine when we metabolize glyoxylic acid or ascorbic acid. It is soluble in water but insoluble in alcohol. Potassium oxalate can be used in many fields, such as: blood anticoagulant, bleaching wood products, removing rust from metals, quantifying calcium content in analytical chemistry, and processing rare earth metals.
The results of some special clinical trials show that the use of potassium oxalate in the form of a gel on human teeth can reduce subgingival scaling and the sensitivity after periodontal surgery (SRP) and other periodontal surgery.
Potassium oxalate can also determine the presence and content of minerals and heavy metals, and can also be used as a chelating and reducing agent. Potassium oxalate is a powerful binding compound. In analytical chemistry, potassium oxalate is used as a reagent for identifying calcium and other heavy metals in substances. In the water, it can locate and bind toxins such as heavy metals, thereby helping the water treatment process. Once the heavy metal molecules are identified, potassium oxalate can also be used as a chelating agent to bind and help remove polluting toxins in the water. However, in addition to toxic water sources, heavy metal poisoning can occur in countless ways.
The chelating agent varies with the target heavy metal. Depending on the characteristic toxin, certain agents will be more suitable. Therefore, in order for chelation to be considered an effective treatment, the most suitable chelating agent must be used in conjunction with the relevant toxin. In addition, it should be ensured that through close monitoring and tailored dosages, the severity of symptoms can be greatly reduced. This is not a "one size fits all" treatment. This type of therapy is effective in many situations, and potassium oxalate will definitely help when targeting certain heavy metals.
Although potassium oxalate has an indisputable role in heavy metals, its application in blood is the most numerous. Nowadays, there are not many domestic manufacturers specializing in blood collection tube additives, and there are very few manufacturers that produce a complete set of blood collection tube additives. Our company is a manufacturer specializing in the production of blood additives since 2005.
Hubei Xindesheng Material Co., Ltd. has specialized in the production of blood additives for decades. Our company has rich experience in product production, quality and output, and has a professional R&D team to optimize product quality. The blood additives produced by Desheng Company include: heparin anticoagulant, EDTA potassium/sodium salt, serum separation gel, siliconizer, coagulant, potassium oxalate, trisodium citrate and other products.
