I see high UV/blue background autofluorescence when using EverBrite™ mounting medium. Is this expected? How can it be reduced?

By: Saloni Pasta, PhD

EverBrite™ mounting medium does show high background fluorescence with violet excitation. The background is more prominent when imaged using epifluorescence using UV excitation and a DAPI filter cube, but is generally quite low in confocal imaging using 405 nm laser.
