 Bob--I believe we had only minor adjustments to make in our immuno
staining when we switched from a VIP processor to a microwave.

In answer to a query about microwave processing of urinary bladder
biopsy specimens Lester Raff MD (Uropartners, Winchester IL) notes:

>>We microwave process our bladder biopsies on the same cycle as
prostate biopsies.<<

Good to know this. Do the immunostains require any adjustment -
particularly the racemase stain, notorious for difficulty in adjusting
to different fixations?
