• Permanent, non-aqueous mounting
• Toluene- and xylene-free
• Low hazard
• Odorless
• Compatible with horseradish peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase, and glucose oxidase substrates
• Dries with an ideal refractive index

VectaMount Mounting Medium (H-5000) is an optically clear and odorless formula for permanently preserving histochemical stains or precipitable enzyme substrates in tissue sections or cell preparations. VectaMount™ Mounting Medium contains no toluene or xylene. It has a viscosity which provides for easy application and uniform spreading over the tissue section. Mounted sections are clear with an ideal refractive index suitable for high resolution oil immersion microscopy. VectaMount™ Mounting Medium preserves the color and intensity of preparations stained with enzyme substrates such as DAB, TMB, and BCIP/NBT, as well as our proprietary substrates Vector^® NovaRED™ , Vector VIP, Vector SG, ImmPACT^® DAB, ImmPACT DAB EqV, ImmPACT NovaRED, ImmPACT VIP, ImmPACT SG, Vector Red, ImmPACT Vector Red, Vector Blue, and Vector Black. The crystal formation that frequently occurs with the alkaline phosphatase substrate BCIP/NBT using other permanent mounting media is essentially eliminated.
