Description

• Gluteraldehyde is a protein cross-linking agent.
• It also possesses sporicidal activity.
• This product is also suitable for use as an electron microscopy fixative.
• Glutaraldehyde reacts through cross-linking to impart water resistance to protein and polyhydroxy compounds.
• It is also a reducing agent for photochemicals.
• In organic syntheses, the reactive carbonyl groups of glutaraldehyde suggest its use as an intermediate for the production of resins, dyestuffs, and pharmaceuticals.
