Fluoromount-GT is a water-soluble, non-fluorescing compound for slides mounted after a staining procedure having an aqueous final step. Mounting slides with Fluoromount-GT may reduce fluorochrome quenching during analysis of slides by fluorescence microscopy. This mounting medium also provides a semi-permanent seal for long-term storage of slide preparations.
Slide Mounting
Fluoromount-GT is supplied as a 25 ml solution containing 0.1% sodium azide as preservative; store at room temperature.
Fluoromount™ is an aqueous based mounting medium and can easily be removed by soaking the slides in deionized water:
Reagents contain sodium azide, which is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
