[Histonet] microwave processing

[Morken, Timothy]

Gudrun, 

A good overview is here:  http://www.ebsciences.com/papers/mw_tech.htm

A couple old books:

"The Microwave Cookbook for Microscopists", Boon and Kok

Microwave Applications in Pathology [Hardcover] 
Anthony S. -Y Leong   

This person also wrote a lot of articles back in the 1980's and '90s on the subject

Also a book by

Subject: [Histonet] microwave processing

 

Hi!

Can someone recommend literature about microwave processing. I'm interested in the physical principles behind the process. And I want to get answers to the questions: why is this microwave-assisted infiltration faster? What happens to proteins /antigens under microwave radiation? Is there a difference between conventional or microwave processing in relation to antigen preservation after usual formalinfixation.

 

Thanks in advance

Gudrun Lang
