Abstract: A shield coating on a microscope slide, and particularly a selective application of a paraffin layer to shield biomaterials and inorganic chemical deposits from microbial attack and oxidation, and more particularly, an application of a paraffin layer on a microscope slide as an exposure shield over deposited biomaterial reactive targets. The paraffin shield layer blocks the biomaterial and chemical targets from exposure, which may lead to degradation due to oxidation and provides resistance to fungal growth, while using the existing stain processing steps to remove the paraffin from the shield and co-resident tissue section.

Abstract: The present application relates to process record slide and method of using the same for loose cells. A single to multi-region slide wherein each region contains one to four control targets and is suitable for processing through Special Stains, IHC or CC, and others. Each region may be bonded by a hydrophobic barrier to form a well. The slide has an adhesive coating suitable for capturing loose cells and cell debris.

Abstract: Described herein is a process record slide for staining. The process record slide includes a detection area for mounting a sample and a control area including one or more control targets. Also described herein is a method of using the process record slide in an immunohistochemical (IHC) or an immunochemistry (ICC) staining process.
