To prevent cells from either shrinking or swelling you should keep them in an isotonic solution. Isotonic solution is a solution with equal amount of solute and solvent. Therefore, when cells are placed in such a solution they will not lose or gain water, as opposed to hypertonic (more solute than solvent) and hypotonic (more solvent than solute) solutions.
