General description
Fluoroshield is an aqueous mounting medium for preserving fluorescence of tissue and cell smears. This unique formula not only enables prolonged fluorescence, but also prevents rapid photobleaching (fading) of fluorochromes including FITC, Texas Red®, AMCA, Cy®, Cy3™, Cy5, Alexa Fluor™ 488, Alexa Fluor™ 594, Green fluorescent protein (GFP), tetramethylrhodamine, R-phycoerythrin (R-PE), phycocyanin (PC), and allophycocyanin (APC).
Application
Fluoroshield™ has been used:
- as a mounting medium for cultured megakaryocytes and immunostained platelets for confocal microscopy studies
- as a mounting medium for 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) stained heart sections for immunofluorescence studies
- to preserve fluorescence of C6 cell smears
Linkage
Fluoroshield is an aqueous-based mounting medium comparable to Gel Mount™.
