	The CPD ~~is used~~ to ~~preserve the sample’s morphology~~. Since air drying ~~would~~ cause severe deformation and collapse of ~~structure~~ due to the effects of high surface tension to air, the water in the biological specimen is replaced with a suitable inert fluid (“transitional fluid”-CO2) which has a lower surface tension to air. This would thus reduce severe structural damages during ~~air-~~drying.		The CPD allows for ideal preservation of specimen's microstructures during drying processes prior to SEM analysis.
