Abstract
The present invention contemplates use of encapsulated aqueous and non-aqueous reagents, solutions and solvents and their use in laboratory procedures. These encapsulated aqueous or non-aqueous reagents, solutions and solvents can be completely contained or encapsulated in microcapsules or nanocapsules that can be added to an aqueous or non-aqueous carrier solution or liquid required for medical and research laboratory testing of biological or non-biological specimens.
Claims14
A solution in combination with an analytic substrate having a biological specimen treated with an alkaline phosphatase staining protocol disposed thereon, the solution comprising:
- a carrier solution disposed on the analytic substrate, the carrier solution comprising a fast red chromogen substrate;
- and
- a plurality of capsules dispersed in the carrier solution, the capsules encapsulating at least one reagent comprising a fast red chromogen,
- wherein the solution is positioned on the analytic substrate such that disruption of the capsules causes the release of the reagent into the carrier solution so that the reagent reacts with the fast red chromogen substrate forming a complex that becomes available to act on or react with an alkaline phosphatase of the alkaline phosphatase staining protocol attached to or associated with the biological specimen.
