Sub-X® Mounting Medium

Created by Nicole Smith, Modified on Tue, 7 May at 11:51 AM by Kathleen Patrick

Sub-X Mounting Medium is a toluene-based low viscosity quick-drying permanent mountant that has been designed to be suitable with all xylene alternatives on the market. Can be used for any coverslip preparation that has been cleared in xylene or toluene. It is suitable for both manual and automated coverslipping. Sub-X contains an antioxidant that prevents stain fading.


DO NOT USE Sub-X® clearant to dilute mounting medium. A small amount of Toluene or Xylene must be used to reduce viscosity. Xylene or toluene must be used to remove coverslips that have set up.
