General description
Fluoromount is an aqueous based mounting medium,similar to Gel Mountä, for use with coverslips to preserve tissues stained with fluorescent dyes. Thisproduct is compatible with FITC, phycoerythrin, phycocyanin, and allophycocyanin labeling. It can alsobe used with other fluorescent markers such as TexasRedÒand rhodamine. The medium after use can easily be removed by soaking the slides in deionized water.

Is F4680 suitable for use as a mounting medium for AEC red IHC mounting?
1 answer-
Fluoromount is not intended for use with bright field microscopy or for coverslipping slides stained with AEC. Most fluorescent mounting media are somewhat alkaline, with a pH around 9, while AEC is typically formulated with an acetate buffer around pH 5.2. The difference in pH levels suggests that the AEC may fade quickly, especially if the slides are counterstained with a nuclear counterstain such as Mayer's Hematoxylin, which would also likely disappear rapidly.
