slides can be dried by leaving them at room temperature overnight or by heating them at 37-40 degrees C for several hours. However, it is standard lab policy to wait at least 3 or 4 days before filing the slides, especially if excess mounting media was used. Storing slides in a cabinet before they are fully dry could lead to them sticking together.

Is the organo/limonene mounting media a hard-setting media, or does it require extra sealing on the coverslip (i.e. nail polish)?
1 answer-
This product is a hard-setting mounting medium, sealing is not required. Simply add 2-3 drops of mounting medium and carefully apply the coverslip, avoiding air bubbles. Slides may be dried overnight at room temperature or by incubating at 37-40°C for several hours.

What are the instructions on preparing a sample for use with Product No. O8015 (Organo/Limonene Mount™)?
1 answer-
Dehydrate slides with dehydrating agents, such as graded ethanol or reagent alcohol. Dehydration refers to removing the water by using a series of grades alcohols. Typically slides spend 1-5 minutes each in a series of alcohols. Sequences vary by laboratory. A typical sequence would be 1 station of 80% alcohol, 2-3 changes of 95% alcohol, 2-3 changes of absolute alcohol. The slides are then processed through 2-3 changes of xylene. After finishing with the last xylene solution, the slides are ready for coverslipping with the Organo/Limonene Mount.

How does the storage temperature relate to shipping conditions?
1 answer-
The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment.
