Sorry... I was writing solely about Target Retrieval solution, and not about
the Decloaker in particular, in my previous email.  I perform HIER in a
microwave, where I can set any time I want.  The 10-15-20 minutes pertains
to the heating time only.  There is also the 20 minute cooldown in solution
afterward, independent of the timing of the heating length.

I also have a Biocare Decloaker which I use for CWD/Scrapie tissues only.
The SP1 is the heating time length at high pressure; once the decloaker
reaches the set temperature/pressure, the time countdown starts; the time
can be adjusted up or down.  The SP2 is the depressurizing step.  My
decloaker is set for 20 minutes at SP1, and 25 minutes at SP2.
