Hello
I am planning to deliver a cy5-labeled drug to mice, and then check its distribution in different organs. In case I wish to preserve the tissues for later research, will fixation (using 4% formaldehyde) damage the fluorescent signal of the cy5?
Does somebody have any experience with cy5 and fixation?
thanks in advance.

It is a spectrum view florescent dye that uses wavelengths and laser lines emissions i doubt if it can be fixed or if it will be visible in a fixed tissue. I advise u keep the pictures or recorded charts
