Methods, systems, and compositions featuring solid soluble reagent compositions for delivering reagents such as antibodies, probes, chromogens to a sample. The invention also features a method of making the composition, and an automated system featuring the use of a solid soluble reagent composition. The solid soluble reagent composition can include a water-soluble polymer film, such as a polyvinyl alcohol film, that has been infused with the reagent and, when applied to the sample, the water-soluble polymer film containing the reagent contacts the sample (eg, tissue). And dissolve. [Selection diagram] Fig. 3B |
