I am slowly answering my own questions...

Cidex activated Dialdehyde solution info can be found here:
http://www.safety.vanderbilt.edu/pdf...ch=%22Cidex%22

From what I can tell, the activated means it has a higher pH, probably for better microbe killing. I don't know. The shelf life appears to be "chemically stable" under proper storage, ie 59-86degrees F. This product contains 97.45% water and 2.55% gluteraldehyde by weight.

I wonder if it makes a difference to our purposes if it is activated or if the day use applies to use or to re-using it stuff in a medical setting?

Now to see about pricing/shipping.
