Slide Mount with Green Counterstain (Cat#032231)

Aqueous Antifade Mountant with Green CounterstainLaboratory Use Only, Store at -20ºC to 25ºC The Slide Mount TM with Green Counterstain is a water-based antifade mountant that can stably preserve fluorescence in paraformaldehyde fixed brain sections. The mountant contains SYTOX TM Green (S7020, Invitrogen™) that is a high-affinity nuclei acid stain. Sytox in the mountant is a green-fluorescent nuclear and chromosome counterstain, and can be excited by a 488 nm argon-ion laser or any other 450-490 nm source. This mounting medium can be used as a nuclear counterstain in brain sections labeled with commonly used red and far-red fluorophores. The medium contains antifade reagents that protect against fading or photobleaching of fluorescent proteins and dyes. It has been proven to preserve fluorescence signaling on fixed brain sections and can be used in conjunction with tdTomato, rhodamine, Texas Red, Cy3, and fluorescent dye tracers, such as DiI and DiA. The mountant is supplied ready-to-
