[Histonet] NCCLS Microwave Device Use Proposed Guideline

[Sandy Cheasty]

I have the GP28-P guideline and read it but am unsure about its
recommendations or limitations in using a microwave for special stains only.

 
Is there any consensus among histology labs as to its interpretation? Is it
still OK to use a commercial microwave from Wal-Mart without special exhaust
system as long as you don't microwave formaldehyde, osmium tetroxide, lead
acetate etc. (Paragraph 4.4) and do annual leakage tests?
 
Thanks!
Elvis
