UltraCruz® Aqueous Mounting Medium: sc-516212
- For mounting and preservation of fluorescence-stained tissues and cells
- Provides superior anti-fade and anti-photobleaching properties
- Can be used for in situ hybridization techniques or for other procedures requiring fluorescent labeling of DNA
- Supplied as a 10 ml aqueous solution
- Inhibits photobleaching of probes containing fluorescein, Texas Red, Rhodamine and other fluorochromes including CruzFluor™ (CFL) fluorescent dyes
- Mounted sections retain fluorescence during prolonged storage if permanently sealed around perimeter with nail polish or a plastic sealant
- For an aqueous mounting medium that contains DAPI (sc-3598) for DNA counterstaining, we would recommend our alternative product, UltraCruz® Aqueous Mounting Medium with DAPI (sc-24941).
- Store mounted slides at 4° C protected from light
- Stable for 6 months from date of purchase

UltraCruz® Aqueous Mounting Medium is a specialized formulation designed for use in microscopy and histology, particularly in the preparation of slides for examination under a microscope. This mounting medium is aqueous-based, which means it is water-soluble, making it ideal for preserving water-soluble stains and avoiding the dehydration or distortion of water-sensitive samples, such as those involving immunohistochemistry or fluorescent staining. The primary mechanism of action of UltraCruz® Aqueous Mounting Medium involves creating a clear, stable, and non-reactive environment around the specimen, which protects delicate biological structures from drying out and preserves the integrity of the molecular markers that are critical for accurate analysis. Its unique formulation helps maintain the fluorescence and prevents photobleaching of fluorescent dyes used in labeling, thereby enhancing the visibility and longevity of the stained components. In research, the use of UltraCruz® Aqueous Mounting Medium has proven essential in facilitating detailed cellular and molecular studies where the preservation of the native state of the sample is crucial. By providing a protective seal over the specimen, it enables researchers to conduct extended observations and capture high-resolution images without the risk of damage or alteration to the sample structure, significantly contributing to the reliability and quality of microscopic analyses.
