Paraformaldehyde is a cross-linking fixative used in histology, light and
electron microscopy and flow cytometry. It is changed to formaldehyde by
heating and by adding small amount of sodium hydroxide.
When the samples
are to be used in fluorescence studies, paraformaldehyde is recommended as
fixative. In histology it is generally preferred over other fixatives as the
others result in more silver grains on the tissues.
