ROTI ® Mount FluorCare ready-to-use, for fluorescence microscopy ROTI ® Mount FluorCare has been developed especially for fluorescene microscopy and is compatible with all current fluorescent dyes. It is an aqueous mountant with an additional antifading reagent which reduces photobleaching drastically. Fluorescence will remain for many weeks. In contrast to other mounting media ROTI ® Mount FluorCare does not show autofluorescence at any common wavelength. ROTI ® Mount FluorCare is also available with the dyes DAPI (HP20.1) and propidiumiodide (HP21.1) for simultaneous counter staining of nuclei. Filled in dropper bottles. Refractive index (20 °C): 1.44-1.465 Prevents photobleaching Compatible with a wide range of fluorescent dyes Example of Use Figure: Immunostaining of DNA adducts (red) and CNPase (green) in cryosections of the inner ear ( stria vascularis ) from mice a) mounted in glycerol b) mounted in ROTI ® Mount FluorCare With kind assistance of laboratory Dr. J. Thomale, DNA-Repair Group, Institute of Cell Biology, West German Cancer Centre Essen. Notes on storage The solution should be stored at +4 °C, protected from light.
