Glutaraldehyde Question

[Malcolm Zahra]

Hello!

I bought 25% glutaraldehyde solution and would like to dilute it to 2% solution ( like TNC Carbon) to continue using dosing the same dosing method. How much should it dilute for 500ml bottles?

Thanks in advance

The math guy in me says 40ml but I can't remeber back to A level chemstry 14 years ago if this is how solutions work.

25% / 2%=12.5
500mm/12.5=40ml

Correct, formula is C1 x V1 = C2 x V2.

C1 = required % (2% in your case).
V1 = required volume (500ml in your case).
C2 = % you have (25% in your case).
V2 = volume you need.

Thus V2 = 2% * 500 / 25% = 40ml

Thus, 40ml of solution in bottle top up to 500ml with distilled water. Done.

well if you rearrange my method you get your formula

Is there anything else other than glut needed to homebrew a TNC Carbon replacement? I have a vague recollection of something else being in there, chelated iron maybe.

No Glut is all you need.
I think the iron was something to do with Excel and marking; possibly so they could create their own name for glut and re-market it.
