Specific Gravity @20/20°C: 1.131

Glutaraldehyde, C₅H₈O₂, is an organic compound used as a universal fixative for electron microscopy. It is an oily liquid with no color and a distinct odor.

At Electron Microscopy Sciences, we provide the highest purity Glutaraldehyde, free from polymers and other contaminants. We offer a range of Glutaraldehyde solutions with varying percentages and formulations. Discover our complete selection of Glutaraldehyde fixatives specifically produced for electron microscopy applications.

How Are the EMS Glutaraldehyde Solutions Prepared?

EM Grade Distillation Purified

• The Universal Fixative for Electron Microscopy
• Purified to EM Grade from commercial grade by all-glass vacuum-distillation.
• THE HIGHEST PURITY, free from polymers and other contaminants
• Each lot is tested and assayed in our lab before we ship and guarantee its purity
• Sealed under dry nitrogen
• Refrigerated prior to shipment

At Electron Microscopy Sciences, we take special precautions to ensure pure, polymer-free Glutaraldehyde after purification to EM grade. Our Glutaraldehyde solution is available in 10 mL single-dose ampoules, sealed under dry nitrogen, and refrigerated until shipment. We offer 10 mL ampoules and 100 mL bottles for larger applications. We meticulously evaluate our EM-grade aqueous Glutaraldehyde to ensure its quality and purity every time.

Safely Shipping & Storing Glutaraldehyde

At EMS, we prioritize safely storing and handling every Glutaraldehyde solution. We can ensure a sustained shelf life by storing each container indoors at the appropriate temperature, tightly sealed.

Available Glutaraldehyde Solution & Fixatives

EMS provides various percentages of Glutaraldehyde solutions to simplify mixing procedures and avoid waste. The available solutions include Aqueous Glutaraldehyde EM-grade 8%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 70%, and Glutaraldehyde 2.5% Aqueous.

Plus, we provide Anhydrous EM Grade Glutaraldehyde specially prepared-10% Solution, Glutaraldehyde that is pre-made, ready to use, and, in a buffer, much more. Explore our full range of Glutaraldehyde fixative for electron microscopy uses.
