Both Mount Quick Tube and Mount Quick Aqueous can be used with methyl green and BCIP/NBT staining, but are not suited for long-term storage. After staining, we recommend photographing as soon as possible, as the color can fade in 24 hours after drying, dehydrating, clearing, and mounting.
BCIP/NBT can stain red and black with immunostaining.
FAQs
| Is edging with manicure necessary after mounting? |
| Both products become completely hard, so this is not necessary. |
| Can Mount Quick be used on plastic and ceramic plates? |
| There is no problem using Mount Quick with ceramic plates. With plastic plates, there is no problem with polypropylene, but solvent can penetrate the plastic with some other materials. |
