title: [Physico-chemical studies of aluminum hydroxide in biological preparations preserved in different conditions].
abstract: An observation of physico-chemical properties of 0.5% Al(OH)3 and vaccines adsorbed to it (Di, Te, Di-Te, Di-Te-Per) stored for 3-24 months in various pH (5, 7, 8) and temperatures -18 degrees, +37 degrees, +45 degrees and +65 degrees was carried out. For this purpose an analysis of sedimentation rate, microscopic observation and ++roentgenographic analysis were performed. It was found that a decrease of storage temperature of Al(OH)3 gel and vaccines down to -18 degrees C resulted in some changes in structure and morphology of this absorbent (big precipitates) and it led to a significant increase of sedimentation rate.
