Permanent, non-aqueous mounting
Toluene- and xylene-free
Low hazard
Odorless
Compatible with horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, and glucose oxidase substrates
Dries with an ideal refractive index
VectaMount™ Mounting Medium (H-5000) is an optically
clear and odorless formula for permanently preserving
histochemical stains or precipitable enzyme substrates in
tissue sections or cell preparations. VectaMount™ Mounting
Medium contains no toluene or xylene. It has a viscosity
which provides for easy application and uniform spreading
over the tissue section. Mounted sections are clear with an
ideal refractive index suitable for high resolution oil immersion
microscopy. VectaMount™ Mounting Medium preserves
the color and intensity of preparations stained with enzyme
substrates such as DAB, TMB, and BCIP/NBT, as well as our
proprietary substrates Vector® NovaRED™, Vector® VIP, Vector®
SG, ImmPACT™ DAB, ImmPACT™ DAB EqV, ImmPACT™ NovaRED™, ImmPACT™ VIP,
ImmPACT™ SG, Vector® Red, Vector® Blue, and Vector® Black. The crystal formation that frequently occurs with the alkaline
phosphatase substrate BCIP/NBT using other permanent
mounting media is essentially eliminated.
