Synthetic Canada Balsam Mounting Medium 25ml/0.85oz. Used like natural balsam, but at a fraction of the cost. It's an effective, economical, medium used for preparing permanent microscope slide specimens. SKU AC0020

Features:
  • Terpene Resins dissolved in Xylene.
  • For permanent preparations.
  • Less drying time than natural Balsam.
  • Basic instructions included.

To make a permanent slide mount, place the specimen on the slide near the center. Add a drop or two of mounting medium on the specimen. Using forceps, if desired, place the edge of a coverslip on the slide and slowly lower it over the specimen to push out the air. You may need to smooth out any mounting medium that has seeped around the outside of the cover slip with the edge of a piece of bibulous paper or a small paint brush. Allow to dry for a day. The thicker the mounting medium, the longer it will take to dry.

For laboratory use only. Read label and SDS sheet before using. Keep out of reach of children.  **PLEASE NOTE:  Due to the viscosity of the balsam, it is offered in a wide mouth 60ml jar for ease of use. The jar will appear to be more than half empty, but it does contain 25ml of balsam, as specified.**

Refractory Index?

I'm wondering what the refractive Index for this synthetic product is vs. the real thing?

Canada Balsam is 1.55.

Thank you very much for the positive review! The refractive index for our synthetic Canada balsm is 1.54, but in general it can range from 1.52 to 1.54. Very close to natural Canada Balsam, as you stated, at 1.55. We hope you enjoy working with it!
