Specifications of Strong Glutaraldehyde Solution BP Ph Eur Grade
C5H8O2 100.1 CAS 111-30-8 anhydrous
Action and use: Used in treatment of warts.
DEFINITION
Strong Glutaraldehyde Solution is an aqueous solution of glutaraldehyde (pentanedial). It contains not less than 47.0% and not more than 53.0% w/w of glutaraldehyde, C5H8O2.
CHARACTERISTICS
A colourless or almost colourless solution.
IDENTIFICATION
A. Heat 1 mL with 10 mL of a solution containing 1 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 2 g of sodium acetate in water on a water bath for 10 minutes, allow to cool and filter. The melting point of the residue, after washing with water and drying at 105C, is about 178C.
B. Add 0.05 mL to 2 mL of ammoniacal silver nitrate solution and mix gently for a few minutes. Silver is deposited.
TESTS
Acidity: Dilute 10 mL with 10 mL of carbon dioxide-free water and titrate with 0.1M sodium hydroxide using bromothymol blue solution as indicator. Not more than 5.0 mL of 0.1M sodium hydroxide is required to change the colour of the solution.
Clarity and colour of solution: Dilute 1 volume with 4 volumes of water. The resulting solution is clear and not more intensely coloured than reference solution.
Weight per ml: 1.126 to 1.134 g
