| Description | AQUATEX (AQUEOUS MOUNTING AGENT) FOR MIC |
| Overview | Aquatex® is used for e.g. LEUCOGNOST™ stained specimens. For preservation purposes and subsequent optimal microscopy, the stained sections are normally mounted using a suitable mounting agent and covered with a cover glass. One of the most important parameters of mounting agents is the refractive index (nD) which should be around 1.5, the refractive index of glass. Aquatex®, an aqueous mounting media, should be used especially with specimens prepared for enzyme and lipid determinations i.e. specimens that must not be dehydrated with an ascending series of alcohol. Aquatex® is also used for LEUCOGNOST™ stained specimens. 100 ml Aquatex® are sufficient for approx. 200 - 300 samples. Aquatex® is an IVD registered product and CE certified, thus can be used for clinical diagnostic purposes. |
