SEEBRIGHT^® Mounting Medium with DAPI

• Unique antifade formulation inhibits rapid photobleaching of fluorescent proteins and fluorescent dyes
• Ready-to-use non-hardening formulation
• Includes DAPI counterstain at 1.5 µg/ml

SEEBRIGHT^® Mounting Medium with DAPI is an antifade reagent that minimizes photobleaching. Use of the mounting medium significantly extends the lifetime of fluorescent signals. The inclusion of DAPI allows for staining of the nucleus.

All fluorescent dyes fade (photobleach) when exposed to excitation light. The amount of photobleaching depends on the composition of the molecule and the time of light exposure. SEEBRIGHT^® Mounting Medium with DAPI can be used to prevent photobleaching and prolong fluorescent signals. This formulation contains 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), which serves as a nuclear or chromosomal counterstain that produces a blue fluorescence when bound to DNA. SEEBRIGHT^® Mounting Medium with DAPI is compatible with many dyes, including Enzo’s SEEBRIGHT^® Fluorescently-Labeled dUTPs.
