Normally, after fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde, tumor tissue slices can be stored at room temperature for weeks to months. For long-term preservation, a better approach is to transfer the fixed tissue samples to a liquid containing buffer such as PBS and store them in a refrigerator at 4 degrees Celsius to ensure their stability and suitability.
