Antimicrobial and Other Properties of a New Stabilized Alkaline Glutaraldehyde Disinfectant/Sterilizer

병원에서 사용하는 수술도구 살균제, glutaraldehyde 용액의 살균 효과에 관하여

The chemistry, antimicrobial properties, organic soil resistance, toxicity, corrosivity and chemical stability of stabilized alkaline 2%, glutaraldehyde solution(SGS) are discussed. SGS retains the maximum antimicrobial activity of alkaline glutaraldehyde solutions and the chemical stability here to fore observed only with acidic glutaraldehyde solutions. These improvements, along with the inherent resistance of glutaradehyde to neutralization by organic soil, allow SGS to be continuously used for 14 days in situations of high dilution, or 28 days in situations of low dilution.
