Abstract
Chemiluminescence arising from cross-linking reactions of glutaraldehy de was examined. Our findings indicate that: (i) new reactions not yet described in the literature may be responsible for a part of the obse rved emissions; and (ii) this chemiluminescence may offer a new way of optimizing procedures of fixing biological materials prepared for mic roscopic examinations.
