The fixation process involves immersing the tissue in a fixative solution. The time required for fixation can vary depending on the type and size of the tissue, as well as the fixative used. Generally, the process includes the following steps:
Sample Collection: The tissue sample is collected and immediately placed in a fixative solution. Immersion: The tissue is immersed in the fixative for a specified period, ensuring complete penetration. Rinsing: The fixed tissue is often rinsed to remove excess fixative before further processing.
