The purpose of fixing cells is to preserve the original structure of tissues and cells as complete as possible, avoid degradation, autolysis, corruption, and deformation of tissues and cells, deactive various enzymes in cells and tissues to prevent various molecular degeneration and dissociation, and enable cell chemicals and enzymes to be accurately located. And in the future processing and production process will not change and damage. At the same time, fixation can also make each part of the cell easy to be stained, suitable for observation, long-term preservation and analysis.
