Hi Carol I have attached a protocol that I have used in the lab before. The protocol is for small pieces. You can add 10 minutes on to the protocol for bigger pieces and add pressure and vacuum.
If you have any questions please feel free to call me.

The majority of our workload is biopsies (skins & GI) with a few breast masses. We also do a fair volume of IHC and are reluctant to go to microwave processing for this reason.
