[Histonet] Microwave Tissue Processors

[Bartlett, Jeanine]

Patsy:
 
I went to Miami to see the Sakura processor in action and processed blocks to bring back with me.  The IHC performed on these were fine.  I also personally have a Milestone TT/Mega and did a project for a college internship where I evaluated various tissue types processed on this machine and tested them with various antibodies using our established IHC protocols.  No only did they stain fine, one of them (our anthrax antibody) actually stained better than when processed by our traditional methods.

	I am interested in feed back on IHC results when using MW processors for
	tissue.

	We are unsing the Sakura express microwave processor.  We process and cut sm
	biopsies throughout the day.  It works especially well for rush specimens.
	It can be loaded every 15 minutes. We are still processing
	derms and breast bxs on our VIPs.    Like all new stains and procedures,
	it takes some time for the pathologists to get use to  the different
	process.
