[Histonet] RE: Microwave processors

[Pratt, Caroline]

We cannot say the same, we had issues with shaves appearing "cooked".
We had specialists out several times and after many suggestions, nothing
resolved the issue.  It doesn't happen consistently but it definitely
happens and we even attempted to track by tech or shifts or when the
solutions were changed and no patterns could be found after several
years.  Sakura has a new vendor for reagents now and they are going to
come run some test slides but the VIP quality for derm keeps the
pathologists much happier based on our experience.

Erin,

We have Sakura's Xpress and skins have always turned out just fine for
us. It is very easy to use and maintain.

Hi histonetters!

Our pathologists want to turn around skin biopsies same day and are
again looking at microwave processors.  Due to a bad past experience,
I'm not enthused but perhaps there is someone out there who loves their
microwave processor?  Even on derm?  Or has anyone worked out a good
rapid derm processing protocol on a conventional processor?



Thank you so much!

Erin
