VectaMount®ËÇ»Express is aËÇ»non-aqueousËÇ»clearing andËÇ»mounting mediumËÇ»enabling the rapidËÇ»mountingËÇ»ofËÇ»cell and tissue specimens followingËÇ»immunohistochemistry (IHC)ËÇ»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 toËÇ»cover slipping. Just stain your slides as per your usual workflow, briefly wash in isopropyl alcohol, andËÇ»coverslip.ËÇ»

Features:

• Non-aqueousËÇ»clearing andËÇ»mountingËÇ»mediumËÇ»for IHC-stainedËÇ»slides 
• EliminatesËÇ»the need for extensiveËÇ»ethanolËÇ»washes andËÇ»solvent-basedËÇ»clearing agents (e.g.,ËÇ»xylene)

Technical Information

VectaMount Express Mounting Medium is aËÇ»non-aqueousËÇ»clearing andËÇ»mounting mediumËÇ»enabling the rapidËÇ»mountingËÇ»ofËÇ»cell and tissue specimens, without the need for slide handling through an ethanol dehydration series and xylene clearing prior to coverslipping. VectaMount Express Mounting Medium preserves the color and intensity of preparations stained with enzyme substrates, such as DAB and BCIP/NBT, as well as our proprietary substrates Vector^® NovaRED^™ , Vector VIP, Vector SG, ImmPACT^® DAB, ImmPACT DAB EqV, ImmPACT NovaRED, ImmPACT VIP, ImmPACT SG, Vector Red, ImmPACT Vector Red, and Vector Blue, for at least 18 months at room temperature. With a refractive index (1.49)ËÇ»closely matching that of the slide and tissueËÇ»specimen, this mounting medium results in high-quality imagingËÇ»free of distortion or artifact.
