Araldite^® M accelerator 960

Araldite is an epoxy resin commonly used for embedding. It is basically free from polymerization damage and the plastic does not sublime in the microscope, hence providing continual support and preservation of fine detail. It is composed of araldite M or CY 212, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, dibutyl phthalate and 2,4,6-tridimethylamine methyl phenol.

Araldite^® was used to study electrochemical detection of dopamine and ascorbic acid neurotransmitters focusing on miniaturization of a graphite-epoxy and synthetic zeolite-modified graphite-epoxy composite macroelectrode as a quasi-microelectrode. It was also used in production of microfluidic chips using extremely low cost chemicals and equipment which was validated by producing monodisperse polymeric microparticles for drug delivery and hydrogel microfibers for cell embedding.
