Streamline
your IHC workflow
Introducing VectaMount® Express
VectaMount Express is a non-aqueous clearing and mounting medium enabling the rapid mounting of cell and tissue specimens following immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. This novel formulation is engineered to enable mounting directly following staining, saving time by eliminating the need for extensive ethanol and clearing washes prior to coverslipping. Just stain your slides as per your usual workflow, briefly wash in isopropyl alcohol, and coverslip.

Why VectaMount Express?
Save time
Stop wasting your valuable time with up to 30 minutes of tedious slide handling through an ethanol dehydration series and xylene clearing prior to coverslipping. Just stain, wash, and mount.
Get results faster
With a mounting workflow that's ready and available when you are, staining is more accessible. Streamline your IHC workflow and get right to your imaging.
Embrace sustainability
Reduce laboratory waste by decreasing your dependence on alcohols and xylene for histological-based assays.
Save money
Minimize the need for alcohols and xylenes — and the associated disposal costs — in your IHC workflow.
Apply with ease
With an optimal viscosity, this mounting medium enables easy application and uniform spreading.

“The big thing is that it’s very time efficient. I think I spend a third of
the time and see a technically beautiful product that looks just as
good, if not better, than when using another medium.”
