Invitrogen™ Supporto di antidecolorazione ProLong™ Diamond

Get photobleaching protection across the entire visible and IR spectrums
ProLong Diamond Antifade Mountant’s ability to provide brighter signal, against low background, helps ensure that you get high-resolution images. ProLong Diamond provides superior protection against photobleaching and will not quench your fluorophores. It can be used with an array of fluorescent dyes, including Alexa Fluor dyes, FITC, TRTC, Texas Red, Cy3, and Cy5 or fluorescent proteins. For immediate viewing of the sample without curing, SlowFade Diamond Antifade Mountant is optimal.

Archiving fluorescently labeled samples with excellent RI
ProLong Diamond mountant is the ideal option for archiving samples with fluorescent dyes or fluorescent proteins. Please note that ProLong Glass mountants are recommended for samples > 10 microns and all immersion oil imaging applications. It is also ideal for preserving signal strength during prolonged imaging sessions, such as repeated imaging under confocal laser scanning illumination, or with super resolution microscopy. Additionally, the curing property of ProLong Diamond means you do not need to use traditional acrylic resins (i.e., fingernail polish), which can damage microscope objectives if it comes into contact with them. The refractive index determines how much the path of light is bent, or refracted, when entering a material. In microscopy, refractive index differences between specimen and mounting medium should be minimized and can be reduced by using mountants with a higher RI. Optimizing the RI of your experiment will increase the resolution to provide better quality images. Depending on your sample type, thickness, imaging depth and/or staining reagents (e.g. fluorescent proteins or dyes) and whether you need a curing or non-curing mountant, choosing the right mounting media will impact image resolution and should be strongly considered for optimal experimental design.
