Description
C&B Metabond R&D
The C&B Metabond R&D a dental adhesive for rodent surgery stands as the gold standard for adhesive bonding in neuroscience and brain research. Nearly all major U.S. and international institutions—including Oxford University, the NIH, Karolinska Institutet and the Allen Institute—use and rely on this adhesive luting cement. It is engineered to bond any substrate to skull or bone, especially metals, with outstanding strength and stability.
In contrast to acrylic systems, which often require glue layers or complicated handling, C&B Metabond R&D offers a cleaner, stronger, and more direct bond—without the need for additional adhesives. The R&D kit was developed in collaboration with European neuroscientists to meet the specific needs of in vivo research. As a result, this version includes only the components necessary for experimentation, avoiding all unnecessary materials and eliminating clinical waste.
For European Researchers Only
Please note: C&B Metabond Mouse Surgery Adhesive is not CE-marked and is not approved for dental use in Europe. It is intended exclusively for non-human research applications.
