[Histonet] Permanent mountant for Oil Red O

[Hagon, Christopher (Health)]

UNCLASSIFIED

Hello Histonetters,

We do Oil Red O stains on frozen section post mortem tissue, and need to find a permanent aqueous mounting medium. We used to use the Thermo-Fisher  Perm-mount, but can't seem to get it anymore. As they are looking for fat deposits, we can't use any solvent based solutions, and the only aqueous ones we've found aren't permanent. We have to send the slides off site after staining, so the chances of the coverslip moving in transport is fairly high.

Does anyone else have this issue and what did you end up using?

Thanks in advance,
