abberior MOUNT, LIQUID, 2 x 15 ml

abberior MOUNT LIQUID is an aqueous mounting medium designed for 3D confocal and superresolution microscopy. The refractive index is identical to that of many biological samples (n = 1.38). abberiorMOUNT LIQUID is NOT hardening after embedding of specimen, to exclude changes of the 3D structure of samples during the hardening process.

Mounting Procedure:

For mounting of specimen adhering to the cover slip e.g. cells labelled on the cover slip or fluorescent beads 10 - 50 µl of abberior Mount Liquid embedding medium (depending on the size of the cover slip) is being dropped onto the slide. Within the next minute(s) the coverslip has to be placed carefully on the drop of embedding medium. Excess medium has to be wiped away using clean tissue. After specimen mounting, the embedding medium is NOT hardening. To preserve the sample and hinder evaporation of water from the embedding medium, sealing of the cover slip with nail polish is required.
