Jennifer,
We installed an Excelsior in 2003. Give me a call and I will share our experience with you.

Follow your inspector's suggestion. That is very good way "to prove" reproducibility.

Hi HistoNetters:
Just wondering if any of you have a procedure to share on microwave reproducibility for a store-bought, non-medical microwave. We had our CAP inspection recently and were asked to come up with a method to test the microwave. The inspector recommended heating distilled water for one minute at each of the three different power levels and documenting the results. Does anyone know of another, maybe better, way?
Thanks a lot, enjoy reading your entries, and hope you all have a restful weekend...........gloria

I would think the Transylvanian vampires would be far more concerned

So, the "undead" of Transylvania have a large enough lobby to get all of
Europe against embalming with formaldehyde? ;)
In all honesty though, beware the slippery slope of banning something
for one use. Our astronaut's safety has become secondary to using
inferior materials for environmental purposes.

Does anyone use a Thermo Shandon Excelsior tissue processor? We just
bought a new one, but found that the "state-of-the-art" molded polymer
chamber has small cracks at some of the seams, which would make reagent
containment and vacuum processing a bit difficult. Thermo is sending
someone to assess/replace the unit, but I want to know if anyone else
has experience with the machine to see if this is a common problem?
Has anyone ever seen cracks develop after repeated use? Any idea
whether the Shandon Pathcentre processor is better? Thanks!

I would think the Transylvanian vampires would be far more concerned
about AIDS than cancer.

So, the "undead" of Transylvania have a large enough lobby to get all of
Europe against embalming with formaldehyde? ;)
In all honesty though, beware the slippery slope of banning something
for one use. Our astronaut's safety has become secondary to using
inferior materials for environmental purposes.

Ever seen an embalmed body autopsied? Very strange, you see how the fixative
penetrates, or not. Saw an embalmed body 'cut up' very strange colour. How
many cadavers get cancer after embalming? Am I missing something?

Apparently the recent accession of Romania to the EEC, which of
course includes Transylvania has been the main stakeholders in
this legislation.

Funny thing - I found this information in Wikipedia.com and the related
link below. After 22SEPT2007 it will be illegal to use formaldehyde
as
embalming fluid in Europe because of it's carcinogenic properties.
Curious. Anyone in Europe have a comment?
