The original VECTASHIELD® Mounting Medium is a glycerol-based, aqueous mountant that does not solidify but remains a viscous liquid on the slide. After mounting, coverslipped slides will not readily dry out and can be reviewed for weeks afterwards without sealing. For prolonged storage, coverslips can be permanently sealed around the perimeter with nail polish. Mounted slides should be stored at 4 ºC. |
