The links on the right list over 100 Published Papers which refer to Citifluor Antifadent Products. This may be helpful when deciding on which antifadent is best for your application.
The Summary Table of Papers by Application lists relevant data in the papers, such as the fluorochromes stabilised against photobleaching, the type of biological substrate and the discipline of the reported study. The summary table may be downloaded as a PDF, and each line in the table refers to a specific paper, identified by a reference number.
You can identify which paper may be relevant for your work by checking the summary table. If you find any other papers which mention Citifluor products, or indeed if you publish anything yourself which is relevant here, please do let us know. Paper Reference Numbers are also shown (in parentheses) in the Product descriptions.
Overview
Citifluor non-hardening mountants and hardening mountants are used worldwide for preventing the photobleaching of fluorochromes.
A wide range of fluorochromes have been stabilised using Citifluor antifadent solutions e.g. specimens labelled with synthetic fluorochromes such as FITC, TRITC, Acridine Orange, DAPI, Hoechst dyes, cyanine dyes (Cy3 and Cy5), Alexa® dyes as well a naturally occurring labels such as the Green fluorescent proteins and related species and the cyanine dyes which give rise to autofluorescence.
Published Papers – scientific studies which have used Citifluor antifadent products.

Micrographs taken with a CLSM of juvenile shrimps (Litopenaeus vannamei) infected with bacteria labelled with FITC and mounted in Permafix HRF: the labelled material shows that the shrimp have phagocytosed the bacteria.
