title: Microwave radiation: a useful fixation method for viral vaccine quantitation.
abstract: As an alternative to the formalin fixation of cells before staining, microwave irradiation was found a very advantageous fixation procedure in viral vaccine quantitation assays. The use of microwaves allows to avoid dangerous chemicals and thereby reduces time and equipment.
