PELCO® Pro CA44 Tissue Adhesive
PELCO® Pro CA44 is a high-performance, instant tissue adhesive formulated with cyanoacrylate. It is specifically designed for securely adhering tissue samples to specimen holders in vibrating microtomes, including the PELCO easiSlicer™, Microslicer™, and Vibratome®. This adhesive ensures precise and stable attachment of biological specimens during sectioning procedures, making it an essential tool in histology and pathology laboratories.
Key Features:
High Precision Bonding: Ensures stable adhesion of tissue samples, improving accuracy during microtome slicing.
Specialized Design: Tailored for use with vibrating microtomes, enhancing workflow efficiency in histological applications.
Convenient Packaging: Supplied in a 20ml bottle equipped with a dispenser tip for precise application. The bottle is sealed with a PTFE-coated steel pin to maintain product stability and extend shelf life.
Performance Similar to Loctite 404: Provides comparable adhesive properties to Loctite 404 tissue adhesive, offering a reliable alternative for laboratory use.
Applications:
Histology and Pathology: Ideal for securely mounting tissue samples for sectioning and analysis.
Neuroscience Research: Frequently used in the preparation of delicate brain tissues for electrophysiological or morphological studies.
Life Sciences and Medical Research: Suitable for use in laboratories working with biological samples that require precise sectioning for microscopic evaluation.
Care and Maintenance:
Cleaning and Removal: The adhesive is unstable in boiling water, so direct exposure should be avoided. For removing or cleaning cured cyanoacrylate, it is recommended to use the PELCO® Pro Cyanoacrylate Debonder (#19920). This debonder effectively dissolves cured adhesive without damaging sensitive equipment or specimens.
Storage: Always keep the dispenser tip clean and ensure the PTFE-coated steel pin is securely inserted after each use to prevent clogging and maintain product integrity.
Application Tips: Use sparingly for a thin, even layer to ensure strong adhesion without excess build-up.
PELCO® Pro CA44 Tissue Adhesive is an indispensable product for laboratories requiring reliable tissue bonding solutions. Its advanced formulation and thoughtful design make it a trusted choice for researchers and professionals in various scientific disciplines.
