Nucleus staining
VECTASHIELD® Mounting Medium with DAPI stains nucleus very well and you do not need to incubate DAPI for one hour and then use one mounting media. This product is very stable and simple to use. Once you prepare the cover slips directly with it, you will save one protocol step less, which decreases your error chances. DAPI signal is strong enough and the slides can be stored at 4ºC for subsequent analysis. VECTASHIELD® Mounting Medium with DAPI is also stored at 4ºC and can be used for long time.

VECTASHIELD DAPI Mounting Medium is supplied in a bottle fitted with a cone-seal cap. A cap fitted with a drop dispenser pipet is also included. The cone-seal cap can be replaced with the drop dispenser cap for routine use and during storage. Although the pipet bulb is made of inert materials, it is suggested that once the drop dispenser cap has been secured on the bottle, the bottle should be stored in an upright position.
To mount tissues or cells on a slide, dispense one drop of VECTASHIELD with DAPI Mounting Medium onto the section. Then coverslip and allow VECTASHIELD® Mounting Medium to disperse over the entire section. Applying an excess of mounting medium is not recommended. The special pipet supplied with the product is designed to deliver small drop volumes of approximately 25 μl.
