"The use of glutaraldehyde-based solutions in hospitals is widespread because
of their advantages, which include excellent biocidal properties; activity in
the presence of organic matter (2% bovine serum); noncorrosive action to endoscopic
equipment, thermometers, and rubber or plastic equipment; and noncoagulation
of proteinaceous materials.”
"Neutral or alkaline glutaraldehydes posseses microbicidal and anticorrosion
properties superior to those of acid glutaraldehyde.”
