Antifade Mountant is a water-soluble and glycerol-based liquid mountant applied directly to fluorescently labeled cells or tissue samples on microscope slides. It is formulated with the blue DNA stain DAPI (When bound to DNA, DAPI fluoresces and is typically used as a nuclear/chromosomal counterstain.).
The mountant is designed to provide unparalleled antifade protection across the entire visual and IR spectrums. You can use this mountant with almost any fluorescent dye or fluorescent protein (e.g., GFP, RFP, mCherry) to achieve the brightest signal and lowest background, for bright fluorescent images.
