VWR®, OCT Embedding matrix for frozen sections
Supplier: VWR Chemicals
When sectioning frozen tissue for rapid surgical biopsy diagnosis or for research (typically in Histochemistry), the tissue sample must be firmly attached to the microtome stage or chuck. Embedding material such as OCT are preferred as these also provide a supportive and protective aid to sectioning.

Differentiation Solution
Supplier: SIGMA ALDRICH MICROSCOPY
Differentiation solution comprises acidified ethanol or isopropanol that is used to decolourise hematoxylin stain. The duration of exposure to the solution determines the degree of decolourisation. Differentiation is a crucial step in hematoxylin-eosin staining to achieve the proper colour contrast necessary for visualisation, by selectively removing excess hematoxylin from the tissue section and leaving behind the desired staining intensity.

Fluorescence antifade mounting media and CoverGrip™ coverslip sealant, EverBrite™
Supplier: Biotium
EverBrite™ mounting media are anti-fade mountants for preserving fluorescence during microscopy. EverBrite™ mounting media prevent rapid photobleaching of fluorescein, rhodamine, and cyanine based dyes and are optimally formulated for use with Biotum’s CF™ dye conjugates. Unlike Vectashield® EverBrite™ mounting media is compatible with Cy® dyes such as Cy®2, Cy®3 and Cy®5. EverBrite™ mounting medium is a wet-set medium while EverBrite™ hardset mounting medium cures overnight to form a hard permanent seal with the coverslip, eliminating the need to seal coverslip edges with nail polish or other sealants. Both formulations are available with DAPI for blue fluorescent nuclear counterstaining without an additional staining step.
