Use Trevigen NF Mounting Media w. TACS In Situ Apoptosis...?
Posted: Mon 16 Feb 2015 14:58Is it recommended that Trevigen NF Mounting Media (cat# 4865-25) be used with TACS® In Situ Apoptosis Detection kits using either diaminobenzidine or TACS Blue Label®? Is it possible to use mounting media from other companies?
FAQ from Trevigen
It is important to use Mounting Media free of ortho- , para- and mixed xylenes. Xylenes result in fading of TACS Blue Label™.
It is possible that fading of Blue Label may occur with some batches of Permount due to presence of xylenes. DPX is advertised as free of xylenes. An alternate is butyl-acetate products from Polysciences, which is fast drying and is more likely to hold the color of the Blue Label.
