67. EUKITT MOUNTING MEDIUM, EMS Catalog #15320 - 15322
Which mounting medium dries in 20 minutes and remains clear for 10 or more
years?

EUKITT MOUNTING MEDIUM:

FAST DRYING 
NO AIR BUBBLES 
CHEMICALLY NEUTRAL 
PASSIVE TO ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT 
UNAFFECTED BY COLD 
RECOMMENDED FOR MANY RESEARCH AND
ROUTINE HISTOLOGICAL/CYTOLOGICAL PREPARATIONS 
 TOTAL OPTICAL CLARITY 
REFRACTION INDEX CLOSE TO GLASS (TISSUE ELEMENTS) 
NON-YELLOWING AFTER MANY YEARS 
MIXES EASILY WITH XYLENE 
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE WITH AUTOMATED COVERSLIPPING EQUIPMENT 
 

Minimizing drying time is critical to successful slide presentation. Fast
drying mounting medium prevents moisture from developing under the
coverglass and consequent clouding of the specimen. EUKITT Mounting Medium
dries clear in ambient air for microscopic review and patient diagnosis
within twenty minutes of application.

A microscopy specimen must be processed well, presented well and delivered
in a timely manner for operating room decisions, daily rounds, or office
visits. Even the best processing techniques are easily obscured by bad
presentation.

Internationally recognized, EUKITT ensures superior optical mounting of soft
and hard tissue specimens. Finished slides are easily reworked by immersing
the previously mounted specimen in xylene to remove both the coverslip and
EUKITT mounting medium before remounting.

EUKITT is also renowned for its application in bone preparations,
particularly when using fluorescent dyes.

Whether you are processing routine tissue, bone or cytological samples,
EUKITT mounting medium will provide the finest possible final specimen
preparation ... FAST!

Due to its chemical resin composition, EUKITT not only dries quickly but
remarkably clear. It exhibits a refractive index close to the highest
quality glass and similar to tissue elements.

EUKITT does not crystallize; it causes no microscopic artifacts. And, since
it is formulated to mix quickly and evenly with xylene, automated
coverslipping with EUKITT is as simple and easy as manual techniques. Both
methods provide the same superior final mountings. EUKITT is the "product of
choice" as recommended by a major microfilter manufacturer.

All of these physical properties and performance characteristics are
important.

If you are engaged in sophisticated, technical laboratory work;

If you lead or support complex research studies and investigations;

If you are responsible for laboratory quality control; or,

If you simply want to guarantee the professional quality and extend the
useful life of your daily work-ups;

Then EUKITT is a must in your hospital or clinic; research, teaching or
industrial laboratory.

Subject: eukitt mounting media???

  I am inquiring for a friend who is just starting up a new lab and she
has
this question.
Does anyone know where this mounting media could be ordered?  I used it
in
another state but since moving I'm not sure of the address to order it.
Thanks for any replys.
