7335 Carbon filled conductive Epoxy 48 hrs@25C; 5 min @150C Constructing carbon electrode. Electrically conductive
4886 High performance Structural Epoxy 12 hrs@25C. Forms a strong and slightly flexible bond on plastic, metal, and glass. Bonds some low surface energy plastic such as PEEK
Hot melt (EVA)   Easy to use for bonding needs and large gap filling
13316 Mini Glue Gun with hot melt glue sticks (EVA) As soon as it cools down Bonds wood, glass, metals and many plastics.
Silicone Adhesives/Sealants/Primers   Good moisture resistance and elastic. Low toxic.
1571 Room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) adhesive. Acyloxy/moisture cure system. Acetic acid is cure by-product. 24hrs@25C Has the best adhesion property in this silicone family. Will bond to many materials. Good bonding to plastics.
7128 RTV sealant. Alkoxy/Moisture cure system. Methanol as cure by-product. 72hrs@25C For bonding or sealing that can't have acid as the curing by product such as electronic circuit. Good bonding to metals.
SYLG184 Sylgard, Two parts, vinyl/platinum cure sealant. Hydrogen as cure by-products. Very low toxic 24hrs@25C, 15 min.@150C Coating Patch Clamp electrode improves signal to noise ratio of recording, Cell culture dish, making dissection pad.
Kwik-Sil Two parts, adhesive. Vinyl/platinum system, Hydrogen as cure by-products. Very low toxic. < 5 min@25C Live tissue and nerves studies. Medium strength adhesion and long lasting. Transparent adhesive
Kwik-Cast Two parts sealant. Vinyl/platinum cure system. Hydrogen as cure by-products. Very low toxic. < 5 min@25C Sealant for live tissues. Use in embedding peripheral nerves with electrodes.
6820 Primer for silicone N/A Enhances adhesion of silicone adhesives for difficult to bond plastic surfaces
Cyanoacrylate ("super adhesives")   Form a bonding instantly.
7341 Ethyl Cyanoacrylate, low viscosity 90-120 cps <10 seconds Mounting rat/mouse brain slices. Ideal for relative small gaps and smooth surfaces
7342 Ethyl Cyanoacrylate, high viscosity 1100-1600 cps <30 seconds Use on brain slice exp. Ideal for larger gaps, allows slightly longer bonding time
Vetbond Butyl Cyanoacrylate, Low toxic <10 seconds Bond tissues, alternative to suture, helps small wound healing
500280 Octyl Cyanoacrylate, Low toxic <15 seconds Suitable for surface wound bond, protection, holding a sensor or other device on the tissue.
