Atom Sci. DPX Mountant High Viscosity Specially Thickened

Atom Scientific DPX Mountant (High Viscosity) is a specially thickened, synthetic resin-based mounting medium formulated for cytology applications. It is composed of distyrene, a plasticizer, and xylene, providing a clear, colorless medium that replaces traditional xylene-balsam mountants. This formulation offers excellent preservation of stained cytological specimens, rapid drying, and long-term stability.

The increased viscosity makes it particularly well-suited for cytological preparations, ensuring reliable mounting, even coverage, and reduced risk of sample displacement.

Key Features & Benefits

• High Viscosity Formulation – Specially thickened for cytology slides to provide better adherence and coverage.
• Synthetic Resin-Based – Mixture of distyrene, plasticizer, and xylene ensures clarity and durability.
• Rapid Drying – Provides a quick curing process for efficient slide preparation.
• Excellent Stain Preservation – Maintains color integrity of stains over long-term storage.
• Xylene-Balsam Replacement – Safer and more consistent alternative to natural balsam-based media.

Composition

• Xylene: <60%
• Di-butyl Phthalate Substitute (Plasticizer): <15%
• Styrene (Distyrene): <30%

Applications

• Mounting of cytology preparations
• Long-term preservation of histological and cytological stains
• Suitable for use in diagnostic pathology research and teaching laboratories
