Could it be the Ventana workshop director was inexperienced with their 
subject matter?  It sounds as though they are misinformed or simply 
unfamiliar with publications written on this subject.  A good start would 
be to read articles written by Dr. Anthony S.-Y Leong on microwave fixation 
and successful IHC, and probably many others too.
