Description

Application
Glyoxal solution has been used as a crosslinking agent during the synthesis of DNA-containing nanoparticles in a study.It has been used as derivatizing reagent in the precolumn fluorescence derivatization of N-terminal tryptophan containing peptides which can be separated via high performance liquid chromatography.

Purpose
For R&D use onlynot for drug household or other uses.

General Description
The product is 40wt.% solution of glyoxal in water. Glyoxal is a linear aliphatic dialdehyde containing two aldehyde groups.It participates in the synthesis of glyoxylic acid. It is highly reactive in nature. It can be prepared by oxidizing ethanol or acetaldehyde with nitric acid. It is widely employed in textile and paper industry.
