- solidified-methanol itself solidified with fixed patches or bleached patches.
- the buffer patch may be a patch that contacts the sample T before, after, or before or after staining the sample T to form a reaction condition (environmental condition) for staining the sample T.
- the buffer patch may be provided in the gel receptor 120 in a form that receives a buffer solution (B) suitable for laver staining as a dyeing aid 160.
- the pH of the buffer solution (B) to be contained in the buffer patch may be substantially the same as the pH according to the reaction conditions, that is, the intellectual pH.

- the contact staining auxiliary patch 100 ′ the pH condition is formed on the sample by contacting the sample patch with the buffer patch. Therefore, the contact dyeing auxiliary patch 100 'causes a buffering effect on the sample (T) according to a mechanism different from the conventional method of contacting the sample in the liquid phase.
- the buffer patch prepared using the buffer solution (B) having about 6.5 pH is contacted with the pre-stained sample (T), and the stained sample (T) is observed, the buffer of about 6.6-6.9 pH is actually used. Staining results similar to those sprayed on the pre-stained sample (T) were observed.
- the buffer solution B when the buffer solution B is provided to the sample T in the state contained in the gel receptor S, the pH formed in the sample T is directly in the liquid phase to the sample T ( It can be seen that when spraying B) it is biased to be slightly neutral than the pH formed.
- the acid-base action between the buffer solution (B) and the sample (T) passes through the mesh structure of the gel matrix, which is somewhat more than the action between the buffer solution (B) and the sample injected into the liquid phase. Because it is delayed.
- the effective pH of the buffer patch prepared using the buffer solution B having a specific pH value is slightly neutral to the pH value of the buffer solution B itself.
- the effective pH is a pH felt by the sample (T) side, for example, may be a pH that is formed in the sample (T) when the liquid buffer solution (B) is sprayed on the sample.
- the pH value of the buffer solution (B) itself to be used for the buffer patch is corrected in consideration of the degree to which acid-base action is inhibited by the gel matrix with respect to the intellectual pH value that allows the dyeing to be well defined in the conventional staining method. It can be set to a value calibrated with a pH value.
- the corrected pH value may be a negative value when the intellectual pH is acidic.

- the size of the correction pH becomes larger and the size of the correction pH becomes smaller as it becomes soft.
- the size of the correction pH may increase, and as the density decreases, the size of the correction pH may decrease.
- the pH shift phenomenon of the buffer patch is due to a slightly different cause from the pH of the buffer solution B when the dye sample 140 is mixed with the buffer solution B in the contact dye patch 100. That is, the pH shifting occurs due to the above-described cause for the buffer patch, but for the contact dye patch 100, the above-described cause and the portion described for the buffer solution B of the contact dye patch 100 are described.

- the cleaning patch is in contact with the sample (T) serves to remove residual foreign matters on the sample (T). For example, if a dye, mordant, bleach, or fixative is added to the sample (T) during the dyeing process, a part of the sample remains in the sample (T) and needs to be washed.
- the sample T may be washed while the foreign material is absorbed into the pores of the gel matrix of the washing patch. This is because the cleaning patch does not contain a solution or the like in the inside thereof, and thus has a property of absorbing foreign substances in contact.
- the washing patch since the washing patch also absorbs the liquid on the sample T, the washing patch may be referred to as a dry patch because the washing patch is also used to dry the sample T at the same time.
- the washing and drying functions of the wash patch may be performed by buffer patches other than the wash patch.
- the buffer patch since the relatively large amount of the solution contained in the gel receptor 120 as compared to the wash patch, the ability to absorb foreign substances on the sample (T) when in contact with the sample (T) may be somewhat lower, This is because the gel receptor 120 of the buffer patch also has a certain amount of pores, so that the function of absorbing the residue on the sample T can be performed to some extent.
- the buffer patch can perform a part of washing and drying in addition to the buffering function for setting the intellectual pH of the sample (T). Therefore, the buffer patch is buffered by simply contacting the buffer patch with the sample (T) during the dyeing process. As the washing / drying is carried out, the dyeing process can be simplified. Of course, it would be natural to carry out a separate washing / drying procedure with wash patches in the presence of excess residues.
- the absorbent as a dyeing aid 160 in the gel receptor 140 of the wash patch in order to enhance the absorption of the wash patch.
- the absorbent may be absorbed foreign matter on the sample (T) in contact with the absorbent may be improved.

- mordant patch and a bleached patch as one mordant / bleached patch.
- the mordant / bleaching patch which allows storage of a mordant and a bleaching agent at the same time can be carried out simultaneously with mortar and decolorization of the sample (T) when contacted with the sample (T).
- the contact dye patch 100 and the contact dye auxiliary patch 100 ′ in combination.
- the gel receptor 120 contains a main dye, a mordant, a bleach, and a counterstain for gram staining in a single patch (hereinafter referred to as a composite patch) and the contact dye patch 100 and the contact dye auxiliary patch ( 100 ') can be implemented.
- Such a complex patch has an advantage that it is extremely convenient to use by simplifying the dyeing process extremely, but between the dyeing sample 140, the dyeing aid 160, and the dyeing sample 140 and the dyeing aid 160 inside the gel receptor 120 If the reaction between) occurs, the staining may fail or stain the result. Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages should be taken into consideration.
- One example of a method of making a contact dyeing assistant patch 100 ′ may include forming a gel receptor 120 and absorbing the dyeing aid 160 into the gel receptor 120.
- the gel receptor 120 is made using a gel raw material serving as a gel forming material such as agarose powder, a gelable material, or the like.

- the dye adjuvant 160 may be absorbed into the manufactured gel receptor 120.
- the gel receptor 120 is immersed in a chamber or a container containing the dye adjuvant 160 for a predetermined time, and then the gel receptor 120 sufficiently absorbs the dye adjuvant 160 and delivers it. Can be used.
- Another example of the method for producing the contact dyeing assistant patch 100 ′ may be a method of mixing a gel raw material, an aqueous solution, and a dye sample to form a gel receptor.
- the manner of heating / cooling may be similar to the above-described example.
- the dye auxiliary 160 is added while the gel raw material and the solution are mixed and heated, and then cooled. For example, after mixing agarose and an aqueous solution in an appropriate ratio and heating it, the dyeing aid 160 is added during the cooling process.
- This experimental example combines the contact dye patch 100 and the contact dye auxiliary patch 100 'according to the embodiment of the present invention with the traditional Kimja dyeing method for malaria inspection.
- the contact dye patch 100 for this was produced in two to make each of them as a single sample for the methylene blue and eosin gimsa dyeing sample 140.

- FIG. 13 is more similar to the result of normal staining according to the standard staining process of Kimja staining. Specifically, blue (methylene blue) is strongly dyed compared to FIG. 14, and red salt caused by eosin is relatively not observed. This is because methylene blue, which first came into contact with the blood, interfered with the reaction of eosin later introduced into the blood. In this state, when the buffer patch is contacted with blood, normal dyeing occurs as the reaction conditions (pH concentration, etc.) on the blood are adjusted to the appropriate intellectual pH for the reaction, and the overreaction of methylene blue is reduced, and the underreaction of eosin increases. .
