My pathologist has made a gram neg/pos control block for us to use.
He made this by taking separate cultures of each and suspended them in
histo gel. The control stains well. My question is: Since we are
performing gram stain on tissues exclusively, will this cultured control
be an accepted method as a control for tissues, or must we use tissue
with gram pos/neg organisms. Thanks for your reply.
