About this item

VectaMount™ Permanent Mounting Media protects sections under coverslips and preserves IHC staining patterns.

Permanent, non-aqueous mounting
Toluene- and xylene-free
Low hazard
Odorless
Compatible with horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, and glucose oxidase substrates
Dries with an ideal refractive index

VectaMount™ Mounting Medium (H-5000) is an optically clear and odorless formula for permanently preserving histochemical stains or precipitable enzyme substrates in tissue sections or cell preparations. VectaMount™ Mounting Medium contains no toluene or xylene. It has a viscosity which provides for easy application and uniform spreading over the tissue section. Mounted sections are clear with an ideal refractive index suitable for high resolution oil immersion microscopy. VectaMount™ Mounting Medium preserves the color and intensity of preparations stained with enzyme substrates such as DAB, TMB, and BCIP/NBT, as well as our proprietary substrates Vector® NovaRED™ , Vector® VIP, Vector® SG, ImmPACT™ DAB, ImmPACT™ DAB EqV, ImmPACT™ NovaRED™ , ImmPACT™ VIP, ImmPACT™ SG, Vector® Red, ImmPACT™ Vector® Red, Vector® Blue, and Vector® Black. The crystal formation that frequently occurs with the alkaline phosphatase substrate BCIP/NBT using other permanent mounting media is essentially eliminated.

VectaMount™ AQ Mounting Medium (H-5501) is a hardsetting mounting medium developed for use with enzymatic substrates, such as AEC, ImmPACT™ AEC, and ImmPACT™ AMEC Red, whose reaction products are soluble in alcohol or other organic solvents. In applications where aqueous mounting is preferred, VectaMount™ AQ is suitable for use with other substrates such as DAB, Vector® SG, BCIP/NBT, Vector® Red, ImmPACT™ Vector® Red, Vector® Blue, ImmPACT™ DAB, ImmPACT™ DAB EqV, and ImmPACT™ SG. VectaMount™ AQ is simple to use, requires no mixing, and preserves the color and clarity of the substrates. Stained sections mounted with VectaMount™ AQ can be stored in a slide box at room temperature for at least 2 years without fading.
