Val,
Go to CAP website (http://www.cap.org/apps/cap.portal) and you will
find the answer to your question, or give them a call @ 800-323-4040.
HER2 have a very specific guide line for clinical test.  My
understanding the fixation should be minimun 6 hrs & maximum 48 hrs.
Your problem could be resolved if you have a good rapid tissue
processor (ie. Leica - Peloris, etc).  We have the same problem with
VIP5 before I purchased the Peloris.  I haven't have one single
re-process since then.
There is a trick to my problem.  Give me an email if you want to know.
