Hi Histonetters, Does anybody has experience in making your own HP control tissue? I am tired of using positive biopsies of patients since they are always almost finished. I have heard of a procedure on making HP controls but I am not exactly sure how it is done. I have tried the following: I went to the microbiology department and asked for some freshly grown HP bacteria. We scraped them of the petridishes and put them in formalin. I had them fixed for 24 hours and then I injected them into some already fixed lung tissue and processed it as normal. But if I do a HP stain on that tissue, I don't see any bacteria. Probably they rinse off during the process. Can anyone tell me how to do it? Thanks in advance, Willem Hoekert OLVG The Netherlands
