Both Mount Quick Tube and Mount Quick Aqueous can be used with methyl green and BCIP/NBT staining, but are not suited for long-term storage. After staining, we recommend photographing the slide as soon as possible, as the color can fade in 24 hours after drying, dehydrating, clearing, and mounting.
BCIP/NBT can stain red and black with immunostaining.

FAQs

Is edging with manicure necessary after mounting?

Both products become completely hard, so this is not necessary.

Can Mount Quick be used on plastic and ceramic plates?

There is no problem using Mount Quick with ceramic plates. With plastic plates, there is no problem with polypropylene, but solvent can penetrate the plastic with some other materials.
