[Histonet] steamed about steamer

[Cheri Miller]

This is kind off the subject but, I have a Black and Decker Rice steamer we
have used for 5 or 6 years and now most of my retrievals aren't working.
Mostly my Pins,TTF and E-Cadherin. The troubleshooting I have done recently
points to a worn out steamer. Anyone else have this problem?? Let me Know
what you think.

Hi All,

I'm attempting to use a rice steamer for HIER, but am not able to get
the temperature of the retrieval solution above 85 degrees C.  I was not
able to find locally the Black and Decker HS2000 that has been
recommended in literature.  I can't believe that is the only unit that
will work.  Is there something I'm missing here.  I'm no Wolfgang Puck,
but come on it's a rice steamer!

Thanks in advance,
Fred
