[Histonet] UV-Curing Mounting Media: Dries in 30 Seconds

[Armando Padilla]

Rapid curing may be useful in workflows where reducing the interval between
coverslipping and subsequent slide handling is desirable. Xylene-free
mounting media may also be worth evaluating for laboratories seeking to
reduce or eliminate xylene from their mounting-media workflow.

As with any mounting medium, performance can depend on the specimen,
staining procedure, mounting technique, coverslip, and characteristics of
the UV light source. Laboratories should evaluate curing consistency,
optical clarity, adhesion, and long-term slide stability under their own
working conditions.
