[Histonet] re: Biocare Decloaker HIER

[Jan Shivers]

For those of you who use Biocare's Decloaker for HIER on regular cases (not prion protein retrieval), could you tell me how long you do HIER with these machines?  I normally do my prion cases in a Decloaker for 20', with a 25' cooldown, but I suspect that regular tissues don't need that length of time at high pressure/temp.  I have an extra Decloaker and am considering switching to this device for my normal case work HIER, if it's time efficient.

Please reply privately.   Thanks.
