Case Study
Hela cells were stained as in Left Figure. The slide was stored at -20°C for 1 month before imaging using a Zeiss LSM 880 confocal laser scanning microscope. A series of scans were performed to assess the photobleaching speed of the fluorescent dye. Note that FadeStopTM fluorescent mounting medium effectively protected the fluorescence.

Customer Testimonials
"I used anti-fade fluorescent mounting medium in immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry for over 7 years. Compared to other brands, FadeStop™ Mounting Medium stands out so well. It not only preserved the fluorescence of my samples when I used laser-scanning confocal microscopy, but it also gave me convenience by prolonging the fluorescence after staining. So now I can take my time by storing my slides in -20°C for a long period of time without having to take images immediately after staining."
""I tried FadeStop Fluorescent™ Mounting Medium with DAPI on fixed samples of Hydra vulgaris. The DAPI staining was bright and fast and the mounting medium effectively preserved fluorescent phalloidin stain. Thank you for an excellent product!""
