Microwave stimulation for commonly used mordants

Mordants are frequently used in histologic staining techniques. Standard procedures for mordants typically require long incubations of 1 hr or more at 60 C. This paper reports the use of microwave stimulation of mordants to shorten mordant time, minimize tissue loss or damage and improve the quality...
