| General description: | Glutaraldehyde (Glutaric dialdehyde, Pentane-1,5-dial) is an aliphatic dialdehyde that can be employed as an effective biochemical reagent for various purposes such as a protein crosslinker, enzyme immobilization in microscopy, histochemistry, and cytochemistry. It serves as an amine-reactive homobifunctional crosslinker and a cell fixative before SDS-PAGE, staining, or electron microscopy, making it suitable for a wide range of morphological studies. Glutaraldehyde is capable of efficiently crosslinking amine and hydrazine derivatives to proteins and other amine-containing polymers. Notably, in certain reactions, biotin hydrazides have been directly coupled to nucleic acids using glutaraldehyde, presenting a potential utility in conjugating fluorescent hydrazides and hydroxylamines to DNA. In histology studies, Glutaraldehyde is also employed to preserve tissue sections and prepare them for closer examination. |
