The inhibition of acid phosphatase activity in rat liver homogenates after fixation in different lots of commercial glutaraldehyde is determined and compared with the inhibition following fixation with a distilled product. It is shown that commercial glutaraldehydes inhibit more of the enzyme activity than the distilled product. The acidic products of oxidation of glutaraldehyde do not increase the inhibition of the enzymatic activity. The presence of high concentration of inorganic phosphates in different lots of commercial glutaraldehyde, as presented here, suggests that probably such impurities may be responsible for increased inhibition of phosphatase activity noted after fixation in commercial glutaraldehydes.
