EverBrite™ mounting media are anti-fade mountants for preserving fluorescence during microscopy. EverBrite™ mounting media prevent rapid photobleaching of fluorescein, rhodamine, and cyanine based dyes and are optimally formulated for use with Biotum’s CF™ dye conjugates. Unlike Vectashield® EverBrite™ mounting media is compatible with Cy® dyes such as Cy®2, Cy®3 and Cy®5. EverBrite™ mounting medium is a wet-set medium while EverBrite™ hardset mounting medium cures overnight to form a hard permanent seal with the coverslip, eliminating the need to seal coverslip edges with nail polish or other sealants. Both formulations are available with DAPI for blue fluorescent nuclear counterstaining without an additional staining step.

CoverGrip™ coverslip sealant is an organic adhesive medium formulated specifically for sealing the edges of wet-mounted coverslips. Unlike nail polish, CoverGrip™ does not contain alcohol which can diffuse into aqueous mounting medium and affect sample fluorescence. CoverGrip™ is made with limonene a pleasant-smelling natural hydrocarbon made from citrus peels that is more environmentally friendly and less toxic than other organic solvents. CoverGrip™ is supplied in a 15 ml brush cap bottle for ease of application or in 100 ml dropper-top refill bottles.
