[Histonet] Re: CONTROLS

[Deann D. Chandler]

I once tried using Slim Jims as a control for gram staining.  It had a lot of positive bacteria, but no negatives.  We then went to our microbiology lab got a little colony of positive and negative bacteria, embedded it in agar and processed it.  This worked great!  I do want to see if this works with hamburger or hot dogs.
