This is a non-commercial post. In our lab we use an organic coverslip sealer
from the company Biotium called CoverGrip. It comes in the same kind of
container as nail polish, with a little brush attached to the lid for ease of use.
I've had great luck using this product and the price is extremely fair for a RTU
reagent, especially if you don't have the ingredients to make a custom cocktail.

Definition from the site: CoverGrip Coverslip Sealant is made with d-limonene, a
natural, environmentally-friendly solvent with a pleasant citrus aroma, and dries
to form a clear, hard, durable seal along the edges of the coverslip.
