Subject:    Alternative to DePex


Dear all,
I am looking for an alternative to DePex mounting media that has the same
qualities or better.We are not in a position to move onto automatic
coverslipping at the minute and have been made aware that DePex is
considered to be teratogenic compound and causes fetal abnormalities.As a
result I am looking for a mounting media that is a safer alternative , has
similar properties to DePex and is not too expensive.
Thanks in advance
