"cell fixation" is correct and can be used in written English.
It is generally used in the scientific context to refer to methods used to immobilize cells on a substrate for further experimentation. For example, "The researchers used formaldehyde-based cell fixation to analyze the cellular response of the sample."
Live-cell imaging allows monitoring of dynamic events, but some studies require cell fixation.
The validity and quality of the cell fixation were assessed with Raman spectroscopy.
Cytofix/Cytoperm and Fixation/Permeabilization solutions (BD Biosciences) were used for cell fixation and permeabilization as indicated.
Cell fixation is an essential approach for preserving cell morphology, allowing the targeting and labelling of biomolecules with fluorescent probes.
Shrinkage during the cell fixation process or cell movement before fixation may cause some misalignment between the recorded activity and cell locations.
Also cell fixation results in a decrease of their entrapment due to an increase in cell rigidity by the fixation process.
The cell fixation results from 1 and 7 days of incubation indicated the attachment, spreading and subsequent proliferation of fibroblasts.
If validated for IF or IHC, an antibody might work in ChIP, since these assays involve cell fixation and epitope recognition of a protein in its more native conformation.
Briefly, cells were fixed in a complete cell fixation solution for 15 min and then washed twice with ice-cold PBS and resuspended in 1 ml chromatin prep buffer.
Comparing to BphP-based NIR FPs, miRFP670nano is characterized by high stability to acidic environment, denaturation conditions, cell fixation, and degradation in mammalian cells (Fig. 2c, g, h, i and Supplementary Fig. 4 and 6).
However, conventional methods for evaluation osteogenic differentiation all required a process of cell fixation or lysis, which induce waste of a large number of cells.
