H&E Mount

NO alcohol or xylene clearing pre-steps required

FOR PERMANENT MOUNTING OF H&E STAINS FROM WATER OR ALCOHOL

“H&E Mount” is a unique, permanent mounting media designed for coverslipping H&E stains from water or alcohol. “H&E Mount” hardens quickly and mounted slides are ready for microscopic examination in 5 minutes.  H&E stained slides mounted with “H&E Mount” do not display any loss of eosin or hematoxylin staining that is often observed when H&E slides are mounted from xylene. Therefore, when mounting with “H&E Mount”, less number of dips (5-10) in eosin is recommended.

ADVANCED FEATURES

Mount directly from water or alcohol
No dehydration or xylene clearing steps required prior to mounting
Alcohol differentiation of eosin may be performed prior to mounting
Permanent
No fading of eosin or hematoxylin
User friendly
Environmentally friendly
Makes bench top mounting possible (no alcohol or xylene is involved)
Fluid at room temperature, no warming required
Sets in 10 minutes, ready for microscopic examination 
Excellent optical clarity and resolution
Excellent for photography
Simple soaking in water removes coverslip
Saves time, mounting time of less than 10 seconds per slide
Cost effective, eliminates the cost of purchase or discard of xylene
Available in 40 ml and 125 ml size

PROBE Mount

FOR PERMANENT MOUNTING OF IN SITU STAINS AND IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE STAINS FROM WATER

Probe Mount is a permanent mounting media formulated for mounting and preserving immunofluorescence and in-situ stains counterstained with Nuclear Fast Red and also for Special Stain. No dehydration in alcohol or clearing in xylene required, simply coverslip from water.

Nuclear Red dyes such as Nuclear-Fast Red are often used to counterstain specimens or to stain the nuclei in histological and cytological preparations. Counterstaining with Nuclear-Fast Red is commonly practiced when staining for DNA or RNA probes for contrasted viewing of BCIP/NBT and other blue chromogens. Nuclear Fast Red is also used in counterstaining of special stains such as Muller-Mowry Colloidal Iron stain. Mounting of specimens counterstained or stained with Nuclear Fast Red require mounting with PROBE MOUNT MOUNT. Nuclear Fast Red stained specimens can be permanently mounted with Innovex Probe Mount.
