[Acceleration of histologic tissue processing and decalcification using a microwave oven].
Feasibility of significant acceleration of histoprocessing by using domestic microwave oven is shown. Two histoprocessing protocols for a single bit and many bits of surgery, biopsy and autopsy materials have been introduced. The design of a special container is described. The histoprocessing period was reduced to 2 hrs. Significant acceleration (10 to 20 times) of decalcification of bone tissue by using domestic microwave oven was achieved. Decalcification took from 3 to 8 hrs in good quality of the microscopic images.
