Maxim Posted 2/8/2005 2:21:55 PM	I would like to get some help on finding possible ways to fix cells to preserve. Cells are from tissue culture and I would like to store in solutions.
Richard Taylor Posted 2/17/2005 10:50:06 PM	Store in solution? Are you asking what the options are for substances to add to cells before freezing?
Maxim Posted 2/18/2005 1:51:30 PM	Please pardon me! I guess the question was not clear enough. I am collecting tissue culture cells and until I use them (could take 1 days to couple of weeks) and I don't want to freeze them but want to store in some fixative solutions for molecular works. I would like to get some help on this topic. Thank you.
