The ratio for VersoCit-2 Powder : VersoCit-2 Liquid is 15:10 by
weight and 20:10 by volume. Weighing is recommended to
obtain the best mounts and for reproducibility.
Do NOT pour excess liquid back into the bottle as this will
significantly reduce the shelf-life.
 Measure out the amount of VersoCit-2 Liquid into a mixing
cup (max. 40 g / 40 ml).
Measure out the amount of VersoCit-2 Powder into a mixing

cup (max. 60 g / 80 ml).
 Pour the powder into the liquid.
 Stir thoroughly for at least 30 seconds until the mixture is
homogeneous, without whisking air into the mixture.
All Struers mounting cups can be used.
FlexiForm is recommended for easy unmounting of the mount.
If possible, choose a mounting cup where the distance between
the specimen and cup wall is approx. 5 mm/0.2".
To promote the best possible adhesion of VersoCit-2 to the
specimen ensure that the specimen is thoroughly cleaned and
dry prior to mounting. Each surface must be free from grease,
moisture and other contaminants.
 Place the cleaned specimen in the centre of the mounting
cup.
Mix the required amount of mixture.

 Pour the mixture carefully over the specimen.
VersoCit-2 is a room temperature curing system. For a 30 mm
dia. mount, the curing time is about 10 minutes. We
recommend keeping the mount in the mounting cup until the
temperature is below 40°C/104°F.
After removal from the mounting cup, the mount is ready for
preparation.
