This unique formula prevents rapid photobleaching of FITC, Texas Red, AMCA, Cy2, Cy3, Cy5, Alexa fluoro 488, Alexa fluoro 594, Green fluorescent protein (GFP), tetramethyly rhodamine, Redox, phycoerythrin (R-PE), phyocyanin (PC), and allophycocyanin (APC). The fluorescence is retained during prolonged storage at 4°C in the dark. This medium does not contain phenylenediamine, which destroys immunofluorescence of Cy dyes, R-PE, PC and APC.\u003cbr\u003e\nMounting media products\u003cbr\u003e\nFor fluorescent cell and tissue staining, Abcam recommends this product (Fluorescence Mounting Medium ab104135), Mounting Medium with DAPI\u003cbr\u003e\nab104139\u003cbr\u003e\n, and Mounting Medium with PI\u003cbr\u003e\nab104129\u003cbr\u003e\n. For thick sections or tissues containing lots of fat, we recommend Glycerol Mounting Medium with DAPI\u003cbr\u003e\nab188804\u003cbr\u003e\nFor chromogenic immunohistochemistry, such as with DAB, AEC, or Fast Red, we recommend aqueous Mounting Medium\u003cbr\u003e\nab64230\u003cbr\u003e\n, or organic Limonene Mounting Medium\u003cbr\u003e\nab104141\u003cbr\u003e\nProcedure\u003cbr\u003e\nBring the vial to room temperature.\u003cbr\u003e\nRinse slide to be mounted with distilled or deionized, touch the edges of slide on a paper towel to remove excess water. Place slides on a flat surface.\u003cbr\u003e\nTurn the vial upside down and open the dropper to remove any air bubbles.\u003cbr\u003e\nApply 3-4 drops of mounting medium directly on top of the specimen and spread out evenly by tilting slide back and forth or spread evenly with a 0.2 ml plastic pipette tip making sure the tissue is not touched. Excess medium can be removed by touching the edges of slide against paper towel.\u003cbr\u003e\nLet stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes.\u003cbr\u003e\nApply cover slip carefully avoiding air bubbles.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe specimen is ready for visualization under a microscope.\u003cbr\u003e\nOne can seal the edges of cover slip with nail polish, any organic medium or our Organo mounting medium (\u003cbr\u003e\nab104141\u003cbr\u003e\n). If a coverslip is not sealed air bubbles will appear in few days.\u003cbr\u003e\nFor storage it is recommended that the slide be stored in the dark at 2-8°C.\u003cbr\u003e\nRemoval of Coverslip\u003cbr\u003e\nCoverslip can be removed before sealing the edges. Soak slide in warm (37°C) distilled or deiononized water for several minutes. Carefully and slowly move the coverslip. Soak in water for an additional few minutes to remove coverslip. Rinse slide several times with warm water to remove all mounting medium. The slide can be remounted again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-Do Not Freeze, Store in the dark\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46847571361961,"sku":"ab104135","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab104135","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
