Hi Brian- we just buy controls for spirochetes. I did procure a control block many years ago from someone working with pigs in a vet histology facility in Missouri. It was quite good as I recall. That may be an option for you. We run so few Steiners that it is not worthwhile for me to try and find a control block. Good Luck!

Good afternoon Histonetters! I'm fairly certain my chances of seeing a puppy dog, riding on the back of a unicorn, sitting under a blue moon are greater, but does anyone have a block of spirochetes they'd be willing to share? Recently, we've gotten some great controls from these posts and thought we'd give this a shot! We're more than willing to trade! Please contact me directly if you don't want to post your responses.
