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.
