Permount mounting media

Sourced in United States

Permount is a permanent mounting medium used for the preparation of microscope slides. It is designed to preserve and protect mounted specimens while providing a clear, optically suitable medium for long-term storage and observation.

6 protocols using permount mounting media

1

TRAP Staining of Decalcified Bone

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Decalcified bone sections were de-paraffinized in xylene, rehydrated through an ethanol gradient, and stained for TRAP at 37oC for 1 hour as described above. Sections were then counterstained with methyl-green for 15 seconds, coverslipped using Permount mounting media (Electron Microscopy Sciences) and allowed to rest for 24 hours before imaging.

Sirius Red/Fast Green Staining of Myocardium

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mid-papillary level transverse myocardial sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated as above. Sirius red/fast green stain was prepared using 0.1% (w/v) Direct Red 80 (Cat. 365,548–5G, Sigma-Aldrich) and 0.1% Fast Green FCF (w/v) (Cat. F7252, Sigma-Aldrich) in picric acid (P6744-1GA, Sigma-Aldrich). Myocardial sections were incubated in sirius red/fast green solution for 30 min at room temperature, rinsed in deionized water, dehydrated with 100% ethanol, rinsed in xylene, and mounted under glass coverslips using Permount Mounting Media (Cat.17986-05, Electron Microscopy Sciences). Brightfield images were digitally acquired using a Keyence BZ-X810 microscope using both 20 × and 4 × objectives.

Histological Staining and IHC Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
5 μm FFPE sections were deparaffinized using standard protocol
and stained with Harleco® Gill’s Modified Hematoxylin (EMD
Millipore) and eosin (Sigma-Aldrich). Slides remained in xylene until mounted
with Permount Mounting Media (Electron Microscopy Sciences). For IHC staining, 5
μm FFPE sections were subjected to antigen retrieval in boiling 10 mM
sodium citrate (pH 6.0) buffer for 10 minutes. After blocking endogenous
peroxidase with 3% H2O2 for 15 minutes, slides
were washed 3 times in 1× PBS prior to blocking for 60 minutes at room
temperature (Protein Block, Serum-Free; Dako), followed with primary antibody
(STAT1, 1:1000, #14994S, Cell Signaling Technologies; α-SMA,
1:500, #ab124964, Abcam; 1:500. Cytokeratin-8, #ab53280, Abcam)
and incubated overnight at 4 °C. After washing with PBS, the sections
were incubated with secondary antibody for another 60 minutes (Polink-2 Plus HRP
Rabbit with DAB Kit, GBI Labs). Each slide was counterstained with
Gill’s hematoxylin. IHC quantifications were carried out using Image J
(NIH).

Decalcified bone sections were deparaffinized in xylene, rehydrated through an ethanol gradient, and stained for TRAP at 37 °C for 1 h, as described above. Sections were then counterstained with methyl green for 15 s, cover slipped using Permount mounting media (Electron Microscopy Sciences, Hatfield, PA USA), and allowed to rest for 24 h before imaging.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
