VECTASHIELD® Mounting Media are unsurpassed in preventing photobleaching. These ready-to-use antifade mounting media are stored at 4 ºC, available in non-hardening and hardening versions, and with and without counterstains.
The original VECTASHIELD® Mounting Medium does not solidify, but remains a liquid on the slide and can be stored without sealing. If desired, coverslips can be sealed around the perimeter with nail polish or a plastic sealant. Mounted slides should be stored at 4 °C, protected from light.
VECTASHIELD® HardSet™ Mounting Medium preserves fluorescence and hardens after coverslipping. After approximately 15 minutes at room temperature, the coverslip will become immobilized, and optimal antifade ability and refractive index will be achieved.
VECTASHIELD® Mounting Media are compatible with a wide array of fluorochromes, enzymatic substrates, and fluorescent proteins.
