- 01 Jan 1938 - 
TL;DR: The survival rate of Staph. aureus in a standard volume of denbrinated blood is a reliable quantitative measure of the bactericidal power of blood, and the number of viable organisms in the inoculum and in the blood-bacterium mixture may be estimated with the necessary accuracy by counts of colonies developing from measured volumes of the fluids let fall on to the surface of solid media as mentioned in this paper.

Sporicidal action of alkaline glutaraldehyde: factors influencing activity and a comparison with other aldehydes

TL;DR: The sporicidal efficacy of glutaraldehyde was investigated under various conditions and Cidex and Sporicidin were the most effective, followed by 8% (w/v) formaldehyde and 10% (v/ v) Gigasept, a formaldehyde-containing product.

Étude du mécanisme d'établissement des liaisons glutaraldéhyde-protéines

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of pH on the reaction of glutaraldehyde with amino acids and on the stability of the products under acid conditions, shows the importance of the structure modification of the dialdehyde which occurs when pH increases, and even leads to precipitation in highly alkaline solutions.
