Mounting Media
VectaMount® Permanent Mounting Medium is an optically clear formula for permanently preserving histochemical stains or precipitable enzyme substrates in tissue sections or cell preparations.
- Non-aqueous
- Toluene- and xylene-free (low toxicity)
- Resin-based media
- Odorless
- Viscosity formulated for easy application and uniform spreading
- Compatible with most horseradish peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase substrates
- Dries clear with an ideal refractive index suitable for high-resolution oil-immersion microscopy
VectaMount AQ Aqueous Mounting Medium
VectaMount AQ Aqueous Mounting Medium preserves the color and clarity of enzyme substrates whose reaction products are soluble in alcohol or other organic solvents. Stained and mounted sections can be stored in a slide box at room temperature for at least two years without fading.
- Hard-setting
- Simple to use, requires no mixing
