Note:
FISH fluorescent signals become more easily detectable for the
scanner, therefore resulting in a brighter and better image, by treating
the slide with a formula that prevents rapid photobleaching of
fluorescent reagents (e.g. VECTASHIELD® Fluorescent Mounting
Medium by
Vector Laboratories
and ProLong® Gold and
SlowFade
®
Gold antifade reagents by
Invitrogen
) during the FISH protocol.

Warning!
Do not use a slide when it is broken or its edges are not properly cut or
grounded. Using such slides can lead to injury.
