Eric, I currently use the TBS shur/wave processor. I have used it for 4 years now and in all honesty in the beginning it was a struggle to find the programs that would work for me. TBS tech support is not what we would say great by any means (they sucked). They were in no way helpful to me in giving me direction what so ever. But now I am satisfied with the results we are getting in our lab after many hours of trouble shooting on my own. Bx time for my program is about 22 minutes, 1 mm is 33, 2mm is 1 hour 3 minutes. I found that microwaved processed tissue reacts very differantly to staining. For example H & E staining times are much longer than some protocols I have used. If you would like to ask me specific questions just e-mail me.
