What percentage of glutaraldehyde is found in GLUMA components?

  1. 5%

  2. 10%

  3. 15%

  4. 20%

The correct answer is: 5%

Glutaraldehyde, also known as glutaral or pentane-1,5-dial, is a clear, colorless, oily liquid with a pungent odor. It is commonly used as a disinfectant and a fixative for electron microscopy. In GLUMA components, glutaraldehyde is present in a concentration of 5%. This percentage ensures an effective and safe concentration for its intended purpose. The other options, B, C, and D, have higher percentages of glutaraldehyde, which could potentially be harmful if used as a disinfectant or fixative. Therefore, the correct answer is A, 5%.
