VECTASHIELD® Antifade Mounting Media: Protection for Your Fluorescence Samples

In immunofluorescence, maintaining signal intensity is crucial. VECTASHIELD® Antifade Mounting Media from von Vector Laboratoriesprevent 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.
