[Histonet] microwave processing

[Michelle Bell]

From the vendor perspective, we have definitely seen an increase in implementation of our processors.  Going to the xylene-free, isopropanol clearing approach has lead to converts because the process is more gentle (xylene can harden dense tissues and over clear small specimens).  Before coming to work on the vendor side, I have been using this technology for over 20 years :)

We have a sakura VIP5 but we have been processing most
of our histopath with DIY-modified microwave and no xylene
for several years now.  We still use the old VIP5 in xylene mode
for large batches of stuff just to save labor time.

I have no idea what others do.

Dear histonetters!

I have a question for those who have an insight in the whole landscape of
pathologies.

I am reading the microwave application book of Dr. Leong (2009). He writes
very enthusiastic about fixation and processing with mircrowaves.

I know there are microwave processors for continous workflow on the market.



Now I am curious, how many pathologies use this technology. What do you
think? A few percent or rising numbers?

Thanks in advance and kind regards

Gudrun
