[Histonet] Microwave Procedure for Prostate Needle Biopsies

[Rene J Buesa]

The protocol will have a lot to do with the processor you have, because not all have the same power in their tube, so you will be better off by asking the manufacturer of your MW oven for a standard protocol they recommend.
As to your second question MW ovens never affect the results of IHC procedures, but they will be affected by improper fixation.

Does anyone have a procedure for microwave processing prostate needle biopsies fixed in formalin? 

Does microwave processing ever affect IHC staining?

I appreciate your help!
