Accurate detection of Glutaraldehyde
The Glutaraldemeter 3 by PPM Technology is an easy-to-use, portable instrument that employs an electrochemical sensor to indicate levels of glutaraldehyde vapor in air. The instrument provides a rapid direct read-out of vapor levels on an LCD display, making it a useful screening tool to complement existing routine chemical glutaraldehyde monitoring techniques. By using the time-to-peak function the user can ''spot'' false readings and improve the selectivity of the instrument. This is because common chemicals such as ethanol, propanol and butanol have a time-to-peak on the sensor which is much quicker than that of glutaraldehyde.

Glutaraldehyde is a colourless liquid with a pungent odor mostly used to sterilize medical and dental equipment or as an embalming fluid.
Because glutaraldehyde is a liquid at room temperature it can affect the health of users as a vapour and through physical contact with the skin. Glutaraldehyde mainly affects the first body tissue it touches causing irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, lungs or skin. These are the most common effects of overexposure: Repeated exposure to even low levels of glutaraldehyde can cause asthma. A person who has developed asthma can react even to very small amounts of glutaraldehyde or other irritant chemicals. It is closely related to the cancer-causing formaldehyde.
