Fixation is performed to preserve cells in a sample and to and to make the cells permeable to reagents and probes, then samples can be stored for a certain period of time, while the cells remain intact. Generally the amount of time they can remain intact is unknown. Paraformaldehyde fixative is the chemical that you use, along with NaOH and phosphate buffered saline.
Fixation in microbiology refers to the process of preserving a specimen for microscopy by making it rigid and visible. It helps retain the cellular structures as close to their natural state as possible, allowing for accurate examination and analysis. Fixation can be done using chemicals, heat, or freezing depending on the type of specimen and tests being performed.
