Molecular Probes Prolong Gold antifade ready to use, a hard set. You still
need to seal it but do this with diluted permanent mounting media (use the
same solvent contained in the mounting media). If you do NOT seal it, it
will retract over time. Fingernail polish is not ideal if GFP is involved,
it can cause the GFP to lose fluorescence.
Vector Laboratories makes a hard set, Vectashield Hard Set.
Both companies also have these mounting medias with DAPI if you wish to
have your nuclei stained.
