Mounting media for quantum dot microscopy

Qmount Qdot mounting media from Invitrogen preserves the fluorescence signal of Qdot nanocrystals so that microscopy images can be obtained with no loss of signal intensity initially and over several months. The mounting media is compatible with all eight Qdot nanocrystals, their conjugates, and the nuclear counterstain, Qnuclear Deep Red stain, making it useful for multicolor imaging with the nanocrystals. The solution comes ready-to-use in a dropper bottle. The non-aqueous, permanent mountant cures within 12 hours and has a refractive index of 1.5 when fully cured. It is not recommended for use with standard organic dyes or fluorescent proteins.
