We have successfully used hamburger meat to make Gram controls. As far as GMS
controls go, we ran across a post from someone smearing cream cheese onto lung
tissue and letting it sit for a couple of days, fixed and processed it and were

There was actually an article written in The Journal of Histotechnology a
few years back on this and it was, I f I recall, using a hot dog to create
the gram control. Might be in the archives on nsh.org.

It is the most effective and economical way to run your IHC's.
We have been doing it that way for as long as I have been in histology.
Thanks,

Hi Toni,
We put the control on the same slide and after it's stained and coverslipped
we draw a line to seperate the control and patient tissue with each side of
the line having either a C or P written on it.

Whenever possible we put patient tissue on slides with positive control
tissue on it. Everyone likes it and then you're assured your control
and patient got the same staining experience. We used to use the red
box control slides but discontinued due to the additional cost.

This response is late due to the overwhelming time commitments of NCAA

The only multi-tissue control we use is for HER2 protein overexpression. In
my opinion, multi-tissue controls are completely unnecessary for every-day
use for the majority of IHC tests that we do.
I second that. Marsha is the loveliest person I know.
