Glutaraldehyde 2.5 %, in Sodium Chloride 0.9 %
Glutaraldehyde 2.5 %, in NaCl 0.9 % finds application as a versatile diagnostic agent in vitro. It is often used to fix tissue samples because it effectively cross-links proteins and nucleic acids, preserving their spatial structure. The process involved involves a chemical reaction in which the aldehyde groups of glutaraldehyde form covalent bonds with the amino groups of proteins. This creates a stabilized matrix that can withstand the physical and chemical stresses of subsequent analyses. In addition, the sodium chloride ensures an isotonic environment that maintains cell volume, thereby preserving cell morphology and structure. It results in precise, reproducible results in histological analyses, including light and electron microscopy.
