We take a + case from our micro dept and the plate it off for us. We grow 4-6 plates and then swab the growth off and suspend it in broth. The broth is sectioned, processed and placed in block. This will last us for a couple years at a time.

We are currently buying our Helico control slides from Master Tech and using the Diff Quick method to stain them. Our pathologist is not very happy with the controls so we need to find a different source. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!!
