Hito FluoAquaMount™ Mounting Medium is a permanent aqueous mounting medium for mounting tissue specimens, cell smears, and cytospins which have been stained or labeled with fluorochromes such as fluorescein labeled antibodies in preparation for viewing by fluorescence microscope.Hito FluoAquaMount™ Mounting Medium offers outstanding anti-fade and anti-photobleaching properties allowing the specimens to be viewed long after mounting and enhances the visualization of specimens when viewed under a fluorescence microscope.After coverslipping, Hito FluoAquaMount™ Mounting Medium will dry and harden in hours. The completely dried mounting medium forms a solid coating that facilitates handling and storage.The coverslipped slides can be viewed for 2-3 weeks afterwards without sealing.For long-term storage and viewing, the edges of the coverslip should be permanently sealed around the perimeter with nail polish. Our cover medium will preserve the fluorescent signal for at least four weeks.Slides can be dried at 4°C and should be stored at 4°C in the dark.
