Description

General description

Glutaraldehyde solution is 50% solution of glutaraldehyde in water.

Application

Cross-linking agent for gelatin, poly(vinyl alcohol), and polyheptapeptides.

Glutaraldehyde may be used in the following studies:

• To compose the fixative solution (Glutaraldehyde + Paraformaldehyde + NaPO₄) for use in high-resolution light microscopy and electron microscopy studies.
• To study the conjugation of goat anti-horseradish peroxidase with alkaline phosphatase by a reported method.
• To compose the primary fixative, which is employed to protect the deterioration of cytoplasmic features of yeast cells during permanganate fixation.
