We read our 12B's until the GI reads 200. Then we take out 3cc of the
specimen and spin that. We use that pellet to do the probe. If it's a
white pellet, then we probe for Mtb and MAIC. If the pellet's yellow,
then we probe for Mgor and Mkans. Hope that helps!! We are Loyola
University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois (I almost forgot to mention
that!!). :-)
