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.
