Abstract: [Objective] To optimize the pre-treatment conditions of fixation and dehydration of paraffin sections preparation. [Method] The fixation effects of Bouin fixative solution and 4% paraformaldehyde solution at 4 ℃ and room temperature with different fixation duration were compared, and the dehydration effects of 6 h and 18 h were also contrasted. [Result] Either fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde solution at 4 ℃ for 24 h and then dehydration for 18 h, or fixation with Bouin fixative solution at 4 ℃ or room temperature for 24 h and then dehydration for 6 h, satisfied consequent of subsequent paraffin section preparation was obtained. [Conclusion] Fixation with Bouin fixative solution at room temperature for 24 h and then dehydration for 6 h can be used as the best pre-treatment plan for preparing paraffin sections of horse testis in the field.
