In immunofluorescence, maintaining signal intensity is crucial. VECTASHIELD® Antifade Mounting Media prevent fluorophore fading and ensure sharp images for your cell and tissue analyses.

Why a Good Mounting Medium Matters

Fluorophores are susceptible to photobleaching caused by light exposure, handling, and storage. Choosing the right mounting medium is essential to preserve the quality and longevity of your samples.

Optimized for Immunofluorescence

VECTASHIELD® is available in various formulations:

  • Setting & non-setting: For flexible application as needed.

  • With or without counterstain: Optional DAPI staining for nuclear visualization.

VectaMount® Express: Fast & Efficient

In addition to the water-based VECTASHIELD® media, VectaMount® Express offers a solvent-based alternative that reduces dehydration time to just two minutes and cures within 30-60 minutes.
