Hello 'netters, hope you all had a good weekend. We are having some difficulties with the pressure cooker chambers we use for antigen retrieval. What different methodologies would be recommended? If we went to a different methodology for retrieval, would each antigen have to be revalidated?

Is this with an older tissue sample? We don't do antigen retrieval, but we do have a proprietary technique for tissue restoration which can help with problematic IHC studies, especially in older FFPE tissue samples. See here for some examples:
