- Prepare the best samples possible
- Mounting media for fluorescence that are stable and control photobleaching
Offering high sensitivity, low background, reliability, and reproducibility, these laboratory immunohistochemistry (IHC) slide preparation products accommodate a wide range of protocols. VECTASHIELD® Mounting Medias feature a stable formula for preserving fluorescence, while also preventing rapid photobleaching of fluorescent proteins and dyes. Nonhardening formulations remain as a liquid on the slide and can be stored without sealing; the coverslip can be sealed around the perimeter with nail polish or plastic sealant. HardSet™ formulations harden after coverslipping; the coverslip becomes immobilized after 15 minutes at room temperature offering optimal antifade ability and refractive index.
