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.

There’s a New Mountant in Town

 

“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.”
