Method of forming a containment border on an analytic plate

A method of forming a containment border on an analytic plate, comprising:

• providing a glass, plastic, or ceramic analytic plate;
• providing a pen comprising a reservoir and an applicator end and a quantity of a liquid composition comprising a polysiloxane, a siloxane, a silane, a silicone, a silicon fluid, or a combination thereof contained within the reservoir;
• and
• appressing the applicator end to a surface of the analytic plate and forming a containment border on the surface, thereby providing the analytic plate with the containment border on the surface thereof and wherein the containment border has a thickness of less than 0.0001 inch after drying.
