Application: | Glutaraldehyde solution has been used: • for fixation of mouse and esophageal cancer cell lines • to crosslink amyloid-β protein • to crosslink gelatin in 3D scaffold preparation of trachea |
Biochem/physiol Actions: | Glutaraldehyde is an effective protein crosslinker and finds application in techniques like enzyme immobilisation microscopy, histochemistry and cytochemistry. It exists in different forms under acidic or neutral conditions. It is a biocide widely used as a disinfectant in hospitals and industries and is toxic to aquatic organisms. Its allergic nature leads to hypersensitivity reactions. Contact of glutaraldehyde vapors in endoscopy contributes to Colitis. |
Caution: | This grade is not recommended for use as an electron microscopy fixative. |
