The chemical formula of glutaraldehyde is C5H8O2.
To prepare a 0.5M glutaraldehyde solution, you would need to dilute a concentrated glutaraldehyde stock solution with the appropriate volume of water or buffer solution. Calculate the volume of stock solution needed based on the desired final volume and concentration, then dilute with the solvent. Finally, mix the solution thoroughly to ensure uniform distribution. Remember to follow safety protocols when working with glutaraldehyde, as it is a hazardous chemical.

soaking them for 10 hours in Glutaraldehyde.
Typically, instruments can be soaked in 2% glutaraldehyde for around 10 hours to achieve sterilization. It's important to follow manufacturer instructions and guidelines to ensure proper disinfection.
Doubtful.
Glutaraldehyde is commonly used as a disinfectant and sterilizing agent in healthcare settings. It is effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. Glutaraldehyde is used for sterilizing medical equipment, such as endoscopes, and as a high-level disinfectant for items that cannot be heat sterilized.
it depends. normally, you can use 1% bleach( sodium hydrochlorite) or 2% glutaraldehyde) , best way is to consult with your doctors.

Common cross-linking fixatives include formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and paraformaldehyde. These fixatives work by creating chemical bonds between proteins and other biomolecules in the sample, stabilizing their structures and preventing degradation during further processing and analysis.
Sterilization can be accomplished by heat (as in the autoclave), chemicals (as with glutaraldehyde) or radiation. Your average outpatient office uses heat or chemical sterilization.
cold sterilization can and is done in a soak of Cidex solution (glutaraldehyde) in the medical field. Sterilization can be done with steam, gas, and solutions like Cidex.
