Description

Poly(Glutaraldehyde) is a polymeric form of the dialdehyde glutaraldehyde, offering enhanced stability and controlled reactivity compared to its monomeric counterpart. This high-purity crosslinking agent is critical for applications requiring durable, covalent bonding of proteins, enzymes, and other biomolecules. It is an essential reagent for manufacturers and researchers in the biotechnology, medical device, water treatment, and leather tanning industries.

Application

• Biomedical Device Manufacturing: As a high-level disinfectant and sterilant for heat-sensitive medical equipment (e.g., endoscopes, dialysis machines) and for the fixation of biological tissues in implants.
• Biotechnology & Diagnostics: For the immobilization and stabilization of enzymes, antibodies, and other proteins on solid supports for biosensors, diagnostic kits, and bioreactors.
• Water Treatment Systems: Used as a non-oxidizing biocide and slimicide in industrial cooling water, oilfield water systems, and paper mills to control microbial growth.
• Leather Tanning & Textile Processing: Acts as an effective crosslinking agent for collagen fibers in leather tanning and as a durable press finish for cellulosic textiles.
• Electron Microscopy: Serves as a primary fixative for preserving ultrastructural details of biological specimens.
• Horticulture & Agriculture: Used in soil stabilization and as a component in certain herbicide formulations.

Quality Control

Our Poly(Glutaraldehyde) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, reactivity, and polymeric content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, pH, and residual monomer content are provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided to maintain stability and efficacy.
