Silicone Adhesives
The adhesive you select will depend largely on your biomedical research laboratory application. If you are building electrodes, you might use a silver-filled, conductive epoxy to connect a Ag/AgCl pellet. For instantaneous bonding when mounting a rodent brain slice, you might select an ethyl cyanoacrylate. When you are looking for a low toxicity adhesive with some elasticity and good moisture resistance, a silicone adhesive is the option of choice. When used with living tissue, an adhesive must be:
- Non-toxic
- Able to adhere to organic and inorganic surfaces
KWIK-SIL-SP
Kwik-Sil™ Sterile Packed low toxicity silicone adhesive for live tissues.
Includes
- 1 x 5 ml cartridges of 2-part silicone sterile wrapped
- 5 mixing tips. Each tip is individually sterile wrapped
Kwik-Sil™ is a translucent, medium-viscosity silicone adhesive, developed for chronic peripheral nerve studies such as anterograde tracing with fluorescent indicators or electrode recording. Good adhesion and mechanical properties (tear strength and elongation) allow days of study without breaking of the bonding. Curing speed is very reproducible. Each silicone elastomer is packaged in a double barrel syringe cartridge and is automatically mixed when pressed out of the mixer tip provided. It can then be applied directly to the tissue without further mixing.

KWIK-CAST-SP
Kwik-Cast™ Sterile Packed low toxicity adhesives for live tissues
Includes
- 1 x 5 ml cartridges of 2-part silicone sterile wrapped
- 5 mixing tips. Each tip is individually sterile wrapped
Kwik-Cast™ is a very low viscosity silicone sealant developed to embed peripheral nerves with electrodes for acute multi-fiber recordings. It flows easily, filling the small spaces around the nerve and leaving no channels through which peritoneal fluid can travel and thus short the nerve/electrode contact. Equally important is the ability of the material to flow into itself and create one continuous mass from underneath the nerve all the way to the top of the nerve/electrode contact to ensure long-term recording stability. Kwik-Cast is color-coded to make the mixing foolproof. The catalyst is yellow and the base is blue. When uniformly mixed, it is green. Kwik-Cast can be applied and cured underneath mineral oil. After recording, electrodes are easily recovered due to the low tear strength. The slight longer curing time (approx. 3 minutes) makes it more suitable for stationary preparations and in vitro tissue studies.
