Are there any issues with microwave processing and IHC? 
Thanks,

We are thinking about purchasing a new tissue processor.  We have looked
extensively into microwave tissue processors instead of the conventional
tissue processors we are all used to.
Recently two of my techs came back from a symposium and brought me
literature on the Leica Peloris.   The brochure makes some statements
that it is faster than microwave processing.  Has anyone used this
processor and what has been your impression?   Also do you have any
opinion on how it matches up with microwave processors such as the
Sakura Tissue Tek Express or the microwave processor by Milestone?

Any input would be appreciated.  Thanks
