| Application: | Glutaraldehyde solution has been used: • along with 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-pipe • as a component in a solution to fix the cells to observe its morphology • to fix the Escherichia coli cells in aqueous solution to preserve the surface morphology of bacterial cells |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Glutaraldehyde is applicable in biomedical research to fix cells and can also be used to analyze healthy and pathologic red blood cells. It is broadly used to disinfect medical equipment like spirometry tubing, endoscopes, transducers, anesthesia, and respiratory therapy equipment, and reuse laparoscopic disposable plastic trocar. |
| Features and Benefits: | • Highly efficient and safe to use with lensed instruments, rubber, or plastics • Non-corrosive to metals • Minimum shelf life of 14 days |
| General description: | Glutaraldehyde is a saturated dialdehyde, which is widely known as a chemical sterilant. Glutaraldehyde solutions comprise both monomers and polymers with a difference in their fixation efficiency. |
