duration of fixation

What Happens if Fixation is Too Short or Too Long?

Inadequate fixation can result in:
Loss of cellular detail
Distortion of tissue morphology
Autolysis and bacterial contamination
On the other hand, over-fixation can lead to:
Excessive hardening of tissues
Difficulty in sectioning
Masking of antigenic sites, affecting immunohistochemistry results
