Biomount™

Some mounting media oxidize rapidly upon exposure to air, forming carboxyl groups. This can be more pronounced when sections have been cleared in a solution containing aldehyde. It is sometimes observed that the immunogold/silver signal fades after a few weeks, or even in a shorter time, from sections that have been mounted with these media under cover slips. The silver is still present, but has formed translucent silver carboxylate salts. Visibility can be retrieved by removing the cover slip and washing in xylene and then immersing the slide in photographic developer, but this is a tedious procedure.

BIOMOUNT is a specially formulated mounting medium that reduces fading of immunogold/silver signals in sections on glass slides. It is suitable for resins as well as wax embedded sections of tissue.

CITIFLUOR™ - Antifadent Mountant Solutions

A mounting medium for
immunofluorescence, which overcomes the problems of fading.

This mounting media is designed to reduce the fading of the fluorescence of dyes used for labeling biological specimens.

In the technique of fluorescence microscopy, the fluorescence is stimulated by high intensity UV and/or visible light. Absorptionof the light populates an excited state of the dye (usually a singlet state) and this leads to fluorescence. However, the excited state of the dye may undergo chemical reaction, which leads to destruction as evidenced by the fading of the fluorescence and consequent loss of the image. Citifluor™ mounting media is designed to solve this problem.

Selection of the appropriate product:

There is no universal antifadent due to the fact that biological material is so varied in nature that the fluorescence fading of fluorochromic conjugates is a complex process.

The general anti-fadents are AF1, AF2, and AF3. The AF87 is a specialist immersion oil-based antifadent.

AF1 (Glycerol-phosphate buffered solution containing an additive for use with labeled tissue sections). Should be used if you normally examine specimens in glycol solution. If you normally use saline solution with your specimens.

AF2 (Glycerol solution containing additives for use with labeled tissue sections) is simply a glycerol solution of the antifadent.

AF3 (Phosphate-buffered saline solution containing additives for examination of whole cell) is appropriate.

AF87, the antifadent, is contained in non-fluorescent immersion oil. It is designed for those requiring work at high magnification. It is useful for preventing the fading of such dyes as DAPI, which have the tendency to disperse in glycerol based mountant solutions.

CFPVOH is an aqueous solution of poly(vinyl alcohol) for use as a solid CFPVOH is an aqueous solution of poly (vinyl alcohol) for use as a solid mountant. Apply a few drops of the solution to your sample, and allow drying to give a clear film.

AF100 is a solution of antifadents to be used with CFPVOH when fading of fluorescence in the poly(vinyl alcohol) is a problem. To prepare a CFPVOH solution containing AF100, add 0.1ml of Af100 to 0.9ml of CFPVOH. If more or less of the solid mountant solution is required, mix the reagent in the appropriate ratio. Once these solutions have been made up, they should be used within a period of days since the solution deteriorates on storage.

All of these products have a long shelf life, a minimum of 2 years. The solution can be stored at room temp-erature. With LD50’s >2000mg/kg (in rat), this product exhibits no toxicological problems.

Mounting Medium for all Laser Scanning and Conventional Microscopes

A Revolutionary New Mounting Medium which helps to control the effects of Refraction.

THESE MOUNTANT SOLUTIONS:

• Have a refractive index of 1.52 to match the refractive index of your slides and coverslips
• Are simple to use – Just apply the solution to the specimen followed by a cover slip
• The solution may be kept at room temperature – comes with dropper tip to aid in dispensing
• All mountants are water miscible (aqueous glycerol based), and therefore the specimen does not need to be dehydrated prior to the addition of the mounting solution.
• Has a pH compatible with the specimens: CFM-1 has a pH of ~6.5, and CFM-2 has a pH of ~8.5
• Contains an antifadent to help reduce the bleaching of the fluorochromes (CFM-1 Plus Antifadent)
• May be used as a immersion oils in addition to being a mountant solution and since they are water-based, they facilitate cleaning the microscope optics.

CFM-1 and CFM-1 Plus Antifadent

This glycerol-phosphate buffered saline based mountant solution has been specially formulated so as to have a refractive index of ~1.52 @ room temperature. The addition of antifadent is to retard the bleaching of fluorochromes. Its refractive index is similar to glass; therefore effects of refraction on image quality are minimized. The CFM-1 plus antifadent
will be particularly useful for high magnification work, where immersion oils are use to minimize distortion of the image due to the refraction of the viewing light and where bleaching of the flurochrome occurs.

The solutions should also be very valuable for laser scanning microscopy where, three-dimensional imaging of specimens is carried out e.g. with confocal fluorescence microscopy where integrity of the image has to be maintained.

Both solutions are medium viscosity, and water-clear.

CFM-1 Plus Antifadent have a pH of ~10

CFM-1 has a pH of ~6.5

CFM-2 Mountant

This glycerol-tris-buffered based mountant solution has been specially formulated to have a refractive index of ~1.52 (at room temperature) i.e. a refractive index similar to glass so that the effects of refraction on image quality are minimized. This mountant solution may also be used as an immersion oil. The CFM solutions will be particularly useful for high magnification work where immersion oils are used to minimize distortion of the image due to refraction of the viewing light. The solutions should also be particularly valuable for lasing scanning microscopy where three-dimensional imaging of specimens is carried out e.g. with confocal microscopy.

The solution has a medium viscosity, and it is water-clear, and has a pH of ~8.5

Permount™* Mounting Medium

A toluene-based synthetic resin mounting medium. The right choice for both rapid mounting and long term storage of slides. Its low viscosity allows for a thinner mounting layer offering better optical quality and bubble-free preparations.

It has a refractive index near that of a fixed protein which helps to keep images free of distortion. Ideal for mounting coverslips to slides with thick or thin specimens Permount preserves most biological stains with little or no fading when the slides are stored in darkness. It contains an anti-oxidant to prevent the formation of annular rings and its high softening point (155°C/311°F) makes it suitable for microprojection.

Liquid Coverglass; SHUR/Mount™

Shur/Mount is a liquid coverglass and mounting medium. Its low viscosity minimizes bubble formation under the coverglass. An antioxidant present in the medium prevents fading of the stain even over years of storage. A UV absorbent present in our Shur/Mount prevents the yellowing of the resin.

Available in three types:

• A toluene-based acrylic resin; rapid drying. It is used for mounting and preservation of microscope slide specimens, and is ideal for manual coverslipping.
• A xylene-based formula which is used for automatic coverslipping instruments.
• A unique water based mounting media for use in all Immuno procedures.
