Fixing Cells with Paraformaldehyde (PFA) for Flow Cytometry Preparation of Working Solutions: - Dilute only the amount of PFA you will need per experiment to
FixingCells PFA
Cells for fixation can be grown on either glass coverslips or glass-bottomed dishes When using coverslips, washes should be performed in wells of 6-well or 12-well plates, and antibody treatments made by inverting the coverslips on to drops of the antibody dilution spotted on to parafilm on an even surface
