Glass Ionomer Cement

This resin-based glass ionomer cement is ideal for permanent head attachment of microdialysis probes and head block tethers in rats and mice. It has significant advantages over the more commonly used methylmethacrylate cements. It bonds to bone, eliminating the need for bone screws in most cases. It has a lower temperature increase during polymerization. And it hardens more quickly with no noxious fumes.

Our new automixing configuration includes a dispenser, two 13.3gm cartridges and 44 disposable mixing tips. The cartridges have two separate chambers so that the components of the cement are only mixed in the tips; therefore, they do not need to be used all at once. Also, they contain more than 80 times the volume of the 0.16gm single use capsules that we previously offered. An SOP for rodent head attachment is included. Sold for laboratory animal research applications only.
