glutaraldehyde is commonly used in endoscopy labs to clean and disinfect instruments. it can cause direct irritation of the skin and the upper and lower airways. health care workers are also at risk for the development of irritant-induced or sensitizer-induced occupational asthma when exposed to this chemical. herein, we report on a patient who had frequent exposures to glutaraldehyde over one ...

Fixation with 4% formaldehyde/24 hours, 1% formaldehyde and 1% glutaraldehyde/1-1.5 hours and 1-1.5% glutaraldehyde/1-1.5 hours provided satisfactory ultrastructural conservation of the tissues. None of these fixatives appeared to denature IgG globulins, but formation of cross-linkages prevents conjugates from reaching antigenic sites. Weak aldehyde fixation may enhance penetration of conjugate...

Two forms' of glutaraldehyde were used in these studies, the first, a highly purified monomeric form, and the second, a condensed form : (a) TAAB2 glutaraldehyde was purified by shaking with charcoal and distillation (Fahimi and Drochmans, 1965) . As received, this material always has considerable spectrophotometric absorption at 235 nm, which was completely removed by this purification procedu...

The disinfection of dental impression materials has become an essential topic of universal concern, as it may be the first instance of microbial contamination during dental care. The purpose of this study is twofold: To determine the effectiveness of disinfection with 0.5% sodium hypochlorite and 2% glutaraldehyde solutions in irreversible hydrocolloid (alginate) and silicone impressions and to...

  In the present study, the effect of stirring speed and the type of cross linking agent on the size and formation of microencapsulated Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) oil were investigated. The gelatin/gum Arabic was used for encapsulating and the capsules were prepared by complex coacervation. Microcapsules were analyzed by optical microscopy technique and particle size analyzer. Re...

In this study, thin-film composite (TFC) polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes were synthesized by coating with titanium dioxide (TiO2)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution a dip method and cross-linked glutaraldehyde. Glutaraldehyde (GA) acted as cross-linking agent to improve the thermal chemical stability of thin film coating. The incorporation TiO2 in enhanced hydrophilicity membrane rejecti...

The retention and loss of PH]s-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) from rabbit platelets during fixation was studied using liquid scintillation counting and quantitative electron-microscopic autoradiography. The results were at variance with previously reported data on human platelets. Following treatment of the platelets with either 2 0 % formaldehyde or 2 5 % glutaraldehyde for 2 min or 1 h it was found...

The application of silicalite for improvement of working characteristics of conductometric enzyme biosensors for determination of sucrose was studied in this research. Biosensors based on different types of silicalite-modified electrodes were studied and compared according to their analytical characteristics. Polyethylenimine/glutaraldehyde/silicalite-modified biosensors showed higher sensitivi...
