What Role Does Fixation Play in Sequence Selection?
Fixation is a critical first step in histological procedures. The choice of fixative can affect the staining quality and the preservation of tissue morphology and biomolecules. Formalin is a widely used fixative, but others like paraformaldehyde or glutaraldehyde may be preferred depending on the specific requirements of the study. The fixation process must be carefully controlled to avoid artifacts that could interfere with subsequent staining and analysis.
