Freshly prepared 2% acid and alkaline glutaraldehyde solutions were stored at 4, 20, and 37 C. At intervals, samples were removed and changes in pH, ultraviolet spectrum, and sporicidal activity (against Bacillus pumilus spores) were recorded. Alkaline solutions stored at 4 C showed little changes in these properties, whereas such solutions stored at 37 C became turbid and showed a decrease in pH, marked changes in ultraviolet spectrum, and an almost complete loss of sporicidal activity. Intermediate results were obtained with alkaline solutions stored at 20 C. In contrast, acid 2% glutaraldehyde solutions (initial pH 3.5) showed comparatively few changes in their properties. Treatment of spores with freshly prepared glutaraldehyde solutions (0.5%) at temperature above 40 C reduced the effect of pH on sporicidal activity.
新配制的2%酸性和碱性戊二醛溶液分别储存在4℃、20℃和37℃。每隔一段时间取出样品,记录pH值、紫外光谱和杀孢子活性(针对短小芽孢杆菌孢子)的变化。储存在4℃的碱性溶液在这些特性上变化很小,而储存在37℃的此类溶液变得浑浊,pH值降低,紫外光谱有明显变化,杀孢子活性几乎完全丧失。储存在20℃的碱性溶液得到的是中间结果。相比之下,2%酸性戊二醛溶液(初始pH值3.5)的特性变化相对较少。在40℃以上的温度下,用新配制的戊二醛溶液(0.5%)处理孢子可降低pH值对杀孢子活性的影响。
