Abstract:

A method combined with its necessary container package that facilitates unique processing of microscope slides in a reagent solution is disclosed. This invention has not been described elsewhere. The container package is a partitioned box with each compartment fitting one standard microscope slide. The slides are immersed in a staining solution and the container package is covered with a lid. The container package and slides/staining solution are placed on a standard laboratory apparatus and rocked or agitated for an arbitrary incubation time. The method and its necessary container package provides a means for more reproducibility and sensitivity of results than the prior art that is critical for accurate scientific findings.
