Mowiol^® 4-88 is a high quality mounting medium for immunofluorescence and molecular biology applications. When hardened it has the same refractive index as immersion oil. If used for Immunofluorescence applications the addition of glycerin is recommended. Mowiol^® 4-88 can be made an anti-fade medium through the addition of p-phenylenediamine.

CMCP is a colorless non-resinous, water miscible mounting medium for permanent transparent mounts. It can be used like Canada Balsam, but CMCP resin has the advantage of allowing live or preserved specimens to be mounted directly from water or alcohol. Useful in mounting free living nematodes and live parasitic worms.

This butyl acetate and acrylic mixture is the first mounting medium developed that allows coverslipping directly from d-limonene based clearants. Superior results are also obtained with xylene.

Recommended for manual coverslipping only as it may cause damage to the valves of automated coverslippers. Get a clear seal and decrease your drying time to less than 24 hours.

A toluene based liquid coverslipping media designed to eliminate the use of coverslips. Non-yellowing, and scratch resistant, Polyglass simplifies the protection of prepared slides. The refractive index is near 1.48 and can be removed if necessary by soaking in toluene or xylene. Ideal for uneven thick sections that cause air bubbles under a coverslip with routine procedures.

Designed for coverslipping epoxy, methacrylate, and deparaffinized sections directly from water or alcohol. Plastic UV Mount matches the refractive index of JB-4 embedded sections, since the JB-4 embedding resin is not removed prior to staining. Methacrylate based Plastic UV Mount avoids optical distortion and improves the final image. When applied to sections with a small amount of xylene, Plastic UV Mount "hardens" permanently within 2 minutes with exposure to long UV light, thus obviating leaching of stains. Slides must be coverslipped for viewing.

Xylene based routine coverslipping medium for histology and cytology slides. This acrylic medium provides superior optical clarity. Poly-Mount Xylene is recommended for automated coverslipping instruments that use both glass and tape coverslips. It contains an anti-fade agent to prevent fading and yellowing with long term storage. Dries quickly for viewing, storage, and filing.

Aqua-Poly/Mount is a water-soluble, non-fluorescing, non-permanent, aqueous mounting medium formulated for mounting sections directly from aqueous solutions. It is useful for immunofluorescent techniques as it enhances and retains fluorescent stains.

Colorless non-resinous, water miscible mounting medium for permanent transparent mounts. It can be used like Canada Balsam, but CMCP resin has the advantage of allowing live or preserved specimens to be mounted directly from water or alcohol. Useful in mounting free living nematodes and live parasitic worms.
