[Histonet] Microwave Testing

[Laurie Colbert]

I know this topic has been discussed before, but I can't find my info.  What are others doing regarding the CAP questions regarding microwave leakage and temperature reproducibility?  There is no one in my hospital that monitors microwaves - I will have to do it myself.  Does anyone have info on ordering some kind of monitor?  Do these questions apply only to those lab using microwaves for processing and/or staining?  We will occasionally perform a special stain in the microwave (not regularly) - we normally just heat water, agar, etc.
