Fixation Buffer

BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer is intended to preserve human and rodent lymphoid cells for the subsequent immunofluorescent staining of intracellular cytokines. BD Cytofix can also be used to preserve the light-scattering characteristics and fluorescence intensities of human and rodent hematopoietic cells that have been stained by immunofluorescence for subsequent flow cytometric analysis.
