Usage

Description

Silicone oil (high temperature) is a type of silicone oil that is designed to withstand high temperatures and maintain its properties and functionality. It is a synthetic, high molecular weight polymer that is composed of repeating siloxane units, which consist of silicon and oxygen atoms with organic side groups attached. This unique structure gives silicone oil its distinctive properties, such as thermal stability, low viscosity, and high resistance to oxidation and thermal degradation.

Uses

Used in Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR):
Silicone oil AR 20 is used as a segmenting fluid in PCR, which is a technique used to amplify specific DNA sequences. The oil forms a physical barrier between the PCR reaction mixture and the air, preventing evaporation and contamination while allowing for efficient heat transfer.
Used in Hollow Fiber Liquid-Phase Microextraction (LPME):
Silicone oil AR 20 can be used in the LPME procedure for the extraction of hydrophobic drugs from human breast milk. The oil's low viscosity and high affinity for hydrophobic compounds make it an effective extraction medium.
Used in Droplet Interface Bilayers (DIBs):
Silicone oil (high temperature) can be used as a fluid to demonstrate pores in DIBs, which are artificial lipid bilayers that can be used to study the behavior of membrane proteins and other biomolecules.
Used in Biosensor Applications:
Silicone oil AP 100 has the potential to be used as a carbon paste binder for the formation of tyrosinase electrodes for biosensor applications. The oil forms a thin layer that facilitates the microextraction of drugs from human breast milk, enabling the detection and analysis of specific compounds.
Used in Various Industries:
Silicone oil (high temperature) is used in a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food processing, and automotive, due to its unique properties and versatility. Its high thermal stability, low toxicity, and resistance to oxidation make it an ideal choice for applications that require exposure to high temperatures or harsh conditions.
