[Histonet] HIER - best retrieval with minimum tissue damage?

[Kristopher Kalleberg]

I almost exclusively perform IHC on skin and always use the pressure cooker for
HIER.  I rarely have any problems or encounter disruptions in the morphology of
the sample.  I put the slides in the pressure cooker and when the pressure
reaches the appropriate level I let them cook for 6 minutes.  It seems to be a
fail-safe.  Hope this helps.
