Glutaral, also known as glutaraldehyde, is a potent disinfectant and sterilizing agent used in medical, dental, and laboratory settings. It works by cross-linking proteins and nucleic acids, effectively inactivating microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Glutaral is commonly used for cold sterilization of heat-sensitive medical equipment.
