Ready-to-use liquid mounting medium for histological techniques that require an aqueous-based mounting medium and when dehydrating and clearing agents will adversely affect the stain, such as:  lipid/fat stains, crystal violet stains and solvent-soluble immunoperoxidase chromogenic procedures.

• Maintains superior transparency when fully hardened
• Fast drying
• Low fluorescence
• Highly soluble in xylene
• Does not degenerate or stain the specimen
• Can withstand long-term storage after mounting
• Mounting is simple with easy-to-use 30cc dropper bottle (2202) or tube (2201)

Method of use (Aqueous):

Drop onto the cover glass or section from above.
(Prevent bubble formation by inverting the container and touching the tip onto the bottom of the drop.)
* Before first use, cut open the container tip at a 45° angle with a box cutter or scissors.

Method of use (Tube):

Squeeze out an amount of the same size as the sample section at one location on the cover glass or sample.

Caution:

After use, always replace cap and store in a cool, dark place.

Reference Materials

Use Mount Quick Aqueous when samples are not dehydrated and cleared (photograph because the color fades during long-term storage) and use Mount Quick Tube when samples are dehydrated and cleared (can be permanently preserved).

Staining data chart for Mount Quick Tube and Mount Quick Aqueous

Both Mount Quick Tube and Mount Quick Aqueous can be used with methyl green and BCIP/NBT staining, but are not suited for long-term storage. After staining, we recommend photographing as soon as possible, as the color can fade in 24 hours after drying, dehydrating, clearing, and mounting.
BCIP/NBT can stain red and black with immunostaining.

FAQs

Q: Is edging with manicure necessary after mounting?

A: Both products become completely hard, so this is not necessary.

Q: Can Mount Quick be used on plastic and ceramic plates?

A: There is no problem using Mount Quick with ceramic plates. With plastic plates, there is no problem with polypropylene, but solvent can penetrate the plastic with some other materials.
