[Histonet] microwaves in labs

[Bartlett, Jeanine (CDC/CCID/NCZVED)]

Hi all:

I'd like to know how many of you out there use non-laboratory grade
microwaves for specials stains.......specifically for heating
methenamine-silver for a GMS. For those that do, are there any safety
issues of which you are aware?

Thanks for your help!
