[Histonet] Toluene and Flouresence Staining

[Gayle Callis]

Depending on the fluorphore you are using, you should mount the coverslip 
with an antifade mounting media immediately after staining is 
completed.  Do not dehydrate or clear through the same solvents as you 
would use for an H&E stain.  A good mounting media is Prolong gold antifade 
from Molecular Probes, but there are others on the market from Vector and 
others.

For a good discussion on mounting medias used for this purpose, go to IHC 
world, and into the fluorescence heading.s.
