Abstract
A method applying a biological specimen to an analytic plate by using an applicator device to apply a coating to the analytic plate and adhering the biological sample to the plate. The coating is substantially transparent, translucent or invisible, and is substantially flush with the surface of the analytic plate. The coating is preferably comprised of a polysiloxane, siloxane, silicone, a silane, a silicon fluid, or a combination thereof and optionally an acid.
Claims20
A method of applying a biological sample to an analytic plate, comprising:
- using an applicator to apply a fluid composition to a surface of a glass, plastic, or ceramic analytic plate, wherein the applicator is a pen or pen-like device having a body having a reservoir therein and has an applicator end with a tip constructed of a swab, brush, or rubber material, the reservoir containing a fluid composition, the fluid composition comprising a polysiloxane, a siloxane, a silane, a silicone, a silicon fluid, or a combination thereof, and wherein the tip of the applicator end extends from the body;
- and wherein
- the fluid composition is applied to the surface of the glass, plastic or ceramic analytic plate by appressing the tip of the applicator end to the surface of the glass, plastic or ceramic analytic plate wherein the fluid composition flows from the reservoir in the body through the tip and is disposed upon the surface of the glass, plastic or ceramic analytic plate to form a coating thereon and wherein the coating has a thickness of less than 0.0001 inch after drying;
- and
- applying a biological sample to the surface of the glass, plastic or ceramic analytic plate after the coating has been applied to the glass, plastic or ceramic analytic plate, wherein the biological sample is caused to be adhered to the glass, plastic, or ceramic analytic plate.
