SlowFade® Gold antifade reagent
from
Molecular Probes (Invitrogen)
Description
The SlowFade® Gold antifade reagent is an aqueous antifade formulation containing glycerol. It is suitable for immediate viewing, but does not cure over time and so is not suitable for long-term storage of samples. The SlowFade® Gold antifade reagent reduces the photobleaching rate of fluorescein about five-fold. It does not quench fluorescein, and quenching of the Alexa Fluor® 350, Alexa Fluor® 405, Cascade Blue®, tetramethylrhodamine, and Texas Red® dyes is minimal. The SlowFade® Gold antifade reagent is also available with the blue-fluorescent nuclear counterstain, DAPI in a 10 mL (S36938) or 5 X 2 mL (S36939) packagings.
