The ibidi Mounting Medium with DAPI is too bright, what can I do?

If the DAPI signal is too bright after using the ibidi Mounting Medium with DAPI, we recommend trying the following:

  • Minimize the exposure time.
  • Dilute it up to 50% with water or PBS to reduce the DAPI concentration, as stated in our Instructions for the ibidi Mounting Medium with DAPI.
  • Dilute the ibidi Mounting Medium with DAPI using the ibidi Mounting Medium (without DAPI).

Please note: Mounting medium diluted with aqueous solutions (e.g., PBS) has a chance of higher evaporation.
