[Histonet] CAP Microwave ?s

[Kelly Larson]

   I  was  wondering what most histology labs are doing about the new CAP
   microwave   questions,   especially   the  ventilation(ANP.29430)  and
   temperature reproducibility(ANP.28290) ones??!!  We are using a normal
   household  microwave from Walmart.  I looked into getting one made for
   lab  use  and  it costs $1800 (I don't think so!!).  I am now thinking
   about  getting  a  fume  hood,  like  the one we use for coverslipping
   slides, and put the microwave we have in that.  Any suggestions??
