MedaFluo™ Mounting Medium for Fluorescence with DAPI

MedaFluo™ Mounting Medium is an aqueous based mounting medium for preserving fluorescence staining signal on tissue section and cell smears. It contains anti-fade agent and prevents rapid photobleaching of fluorophores. It is compatible with Medaysis Fluor dyes, DyLight®, FITC, Texas Red, AMCA, Cy®, Alexa Fluor®, fluorescent nuclear stains, fluorescent proteins, fluorescent tracers, and most other fluorophores etc. The fluorescence is retained during prolonged storage at 4ºC in the dark. MedaFluo™ Mounting Medium for Fluorescence does not contain phenylenediamine, which destroys immunofluorescence of Cy dyes, R-PE, PC and APC. This mounting medium is fortified with DAPI (4,6- diamidino-2-phenylindole) which counterstains DNA. This product is to be used in situ hybridization techniques or other methods where fluorescence of DNA staining is required. DAPI excites at 360nm and emits at 460nm, producing a blue fluorescence. RNA is also stained with DAPI.
