Summary
Refractive Index: 1.400 ± 0.002
(These numbers apply to these mounting mediums in solution. Refractive indexes change when the water solvent evaporates and mounting media dries on slides. We do not have the means to measure the refractive indexes of dry mounting mediums; however we expect the numbers to go higher when dried. The refractive index of water is 1.3330)

Background
ImmunoFluoroMount™ is an aqueous non- permanent, low viscosity mounting medium for immunofluorescence. This unique formula prevents rapid photobleaching of FITC, Texas Red, AMCA, Cy2, Cy3, Cy5, Alexa fluoro 488, Alexa fluoro 594, Green fluorescent protein (GFP), tetramethyly rhodamine and Redox. The fluorescence is retained during storage at 4oC in the dark. Not recommended for phycoethyrin (PE), phycocyanin (PC) and allophycocyanin (APC). This medium does not contain phenylenediamine, which destroys immunofluorescence of Cy dyes.
