Cell staining techniques and preparation depend on the type of staining agent and analysis method. One or more of the following procedures may be necessary to prepare a sample:
• Permeabilization - treatment of cells, usually with a mild surfactant that dissolves cell membranes to allow larger dye molecules to enter the cell
• Fixation - serves to "fix" or maintain cell or tissue morphology through the perparation process. This process can include several steps, but most fixation procedures involve adding a chemical fixative that creates chemical bonds between proteins to increase their strength. Common fixatives include formaldehyde, ethanol, methanol, and/or picric acid
• Mounting - involves attaching samples to a slide for observation and analysis. Cells can be grown directly on the slide or single cells can be applied to a slide using sterile techniques. Thin sections (slices) of material - such as tissue - can also be placed on a microscope slide for observation
• Staining - the application of staining agent to cells, tissues, components, or metabolic processes of cells to color. This method may include immersing the sample (before or after fixing or mounting) in a dye solution and then rinsing and observing the sample under a microscope. Some dyes require the use of an etchant, which chemically reacts with the colorant to produce an insoluble colored result. The etched dye will remain on/in the sample when the excess dye solution is rinsed away
