GI (small intestine) biopsies are other possibilities associated to skin as
control.
When you mention Grams, are you referring to Bact's positive and negative.?
If this is the case you can make them with blood Agar (microbiology) and
contaminate the tissue with them. Or use Large intestine ther will be many you
jus need to look for them.

I work in a DermPath lab.  Currently we purchase all our controls.  Some are
Ok but some, especially the grams are not.  We'd like to start sectioning.
Our own but all the specimens we get are skins.
