AW: [Histonet] Quick Drying Mounting Media

I think it's more depending on the organic solvent used before
coverslipping.
We use butyl acetate in the last trogh in the stainer and in the
coverslipper. This reagent dries/ evaporates very fast. So after 15 min
there is hardly a smell of it and we deliver our slides immediately.
We use Pertex as coverslipping medium.

Hi histonet,
We have a brand new Leica CV5030 Coverslipper and I am looking for the
quickest drying media available. We are currently using Micromount by
Surgipath/Leica and it is not drying fast enough.
Any suggestions are appreciated as we have to package our slides for
shipping and the media is either sticking to the bubble wrap or creating
circles on the slides from the pressure of the bubble wrap.
