Extra Details:
VECTASHIELD[R] Antifade Mounting Medium is a unique, stable formula for preserving fluorescence. VECTASHIELD[R] Mounting Medium prevents rapid photobleaching of fluorescent proteins and fluorescent dyes and will prolong possible imaging time.Features:Inhibits photobleaching of fluorescent dyes and fluorescent proteinsIdeal refractive indexReady to useOffered with nuclear or cytoskeletal counterstainsAvailable in non-hardening or hardening formulationsNo warming necessaryCan be stored without sealing for long term analysisEasy to useThe original VECTASHIELD[R] 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[R] HardSet[TM] 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[R] Mounting Media are compatible with a wide array of fluorochromes, enzymatic substrates, and fluorescent proteins. Please contact 2BScientific.com technical services to determine if VECTASHIELD[R] will be compatible in your system if you have any queries.Both the VECTASHIELD[R] HardSet[TM] and the original VECTASHIELD[R] Mounting Media are available with or without the counterstain DAPI (4 , 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole). The DAPI concentration can be modified by mixing with the corresponding VECTASHIELD[R] Mounting Medium without DAPI. DAPI produces a blue fluorescence when bound to DNA with excitation at about 360 nm and emission at 460 nm.
