[Histonet] TBS MICROWAVE PROCESSOR

[SHANE NELSON]

Eric,
I currently use the TBS shur/wave processor. I have used it for 4 years now and 
in all honesty in the beginning it was a struggle to find the programs that 
would work for me. TBS tech support is not what we would say great by any means 
(they sucked). They were in no way helpful to me in giving me direction what so 
ever. But now I am satisfied with the results we are getting in our lab after 
many hours of trouble shooting on my own. Bx time for my program is about 22 
minutes, 1 mm is 33, 2mm is 1 hour 3 minutes. I found that microwaved processed 
tissue reacts very differantly to staining. For example H & E staining times are 
much longer than some protocols I have used. If you would like to ask me 
specific questions just e-mail me.

THANK YOU,
