I'm doing some IF experiments with HEK293T cells and I'm trying to fix my cells in a way that they don't detach. I did a quick search and some recommend use of paraformaldehyde fixation for HEK293 before addition of methanol. Now, I'm not familiar with the use of paraformaldehyde. Do I have to immediately use the paraformaldehyde once dissolved? As far as I know, dissolving paraformaldehyde would depolymerize it. So, can I store the liquid form or does it repolymerize back to paraformaldehyde?
