Claim:
1. A method of applying a paraffin-embedded biological specimen to an analytic substrate, comprising: wiping a coating composition on an analytic substrate to form a coated surface on at least a portion of the analytic substrate, wherein the coating composition comprises an organofunctional silane; and applying a paraffin-embedded biological specimen to the coated surface of the analytic substrate in a histologic floatation water bath in a way that a hydrolytic area is produced between the paraffin-embedded biological specimen and the analytic substrate wherein in situ hydrolysis of the coating composition is initiated by water from the histologic floatation water bath to produce an alcohol thereby causing a flattening of the paraffin-embedded biological specimen upon the coated surface by removal of water trapped underneath the paraffin-embedded biological specimen and to cause the paraffin-embedded biological specimen to bind to the analytic substrate.
