VectaMount® Express Mounting Media

Save time and reagent costs with this new product from Vector Laboratories!

Non-aqueous mounting for IHC without the need for dehydration & clearing protocols.

VectaMount® Express saves time and reagent costs

 

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.

 

Key features of VectaMount® Express

  • Non-aqueous clearing and mounting medium for IHC-stained slides
  • Eliminates the need for extensive ethanol washes and solvent-based clearing agents (e.g., xylene)
  • Rapid drying formula for fast visualization of stained samples
  • Preserves staining for at least 18 months at room temperature
  • Compatible with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and alkaline phosphatase (AP) enzyme substrates, as well as commonly used counterstains
  • Optically clear formula with a refractive index of 1.49, resulting in high-quality imaging free of distortion or artifact
