Product Details

Description

Cargille Meltmount™ (optical quality) is a series of mounting media which are specifically formulated for use in microscope slide mounting and in other optical coupling applications. It is a direct replacement for old mounting mediums (Canada Balsam, Aroclor 5442, Naphrax...). Meltmount™ is also available in a Quick-Stick™ form which can be used to make permanent microscope slide mounts quickly. These Meltmount™ sticks can be applied to a slide on a hotplate. As soon as the specimen and coverglass are positioned and the slide is cooled you have a permanent prepared slide that can be reversed by reheating, if you should wish to retrieve a particular particle.

Features

  • Instant thermal mountants that require "no-oven-time".
  • 100% Usable; contains no solvents.
  • Reversible, thermally, for particle retrieval or re-orientation
  • Soluble in toluene for special techniques or clean-up.
  • Fluid at 65°C, a temperature chosen because it makes a permanent mount and protects the majority of specimens from thermal changes.
  • PCB-Free

 

Application

  • refractive index of 1.539 and an Abbe V dispersion of 45, optically similar to Canada Balsam therefore ideal for mounting biological specimens but without the long drying time of Canada Balsam
  • refractive index of 1.582 and an Abbe V dispersion of 33. Its optical clarity makes it the preferred choice for minimum visible absorption
  • refractive index of 1.605 and an Abbe V dispersion of 30, making it appropriate for mounting Asbestiform Tremolite, Anthophyllite, and Actinolite
  • refractive index of 1.662 and an Abbe V dispersion of 26, optically similar to Aroclor 5442 but is PCB-free
  • refractive index of 1.680 and an Abbe V dispersion of 25, making it appropriate for mounting Amosite and Crocidolite asbestos
  • refractive index of 1.704 and an Abbe V dispersion of 24, similar to Naphrax


Notes on use

  1. Meltmount™ is a Thermal Plastic Material. This means its viscosity is dependent on temperature, (inversely dependent). As the temperature increases the viscosity decreases. There is no sharp melting point. Being thermal plastic, it is capable of "cold flow". This means the Meltmount™, the specimen, the slide and the cover slip can all move independently of each other given a mix of time, temperature, and lateral pressure or gravity.
  2. Storage of prepared slides: treat them as the valuable items they are.


Store

  1. Flat, cover slip on top
  2. In the dark
  3. Away from dust and fumes
  4. At 60 to 85°F: Meltmount™ is meant to be thermally reversible, do not allow this to happen inadvertently by storing or transporting prepared slides above 85°F.
