Which reference strains do you need?
As a rule, the instructions for use (IFU) of the products / devices / methods you want to check provide information on the recommended strains and quality controls for internal quality control. If you have any questions or need help, please contact us. We will be happy to help and provide you with a non-binding offer.
Is the handling of reference strains subject to approval?
There is no clear regulation on the requirement for approval when using reference strains in registered medical laboratories, limited to the purpose of quality management of your in-vitro diagnostics. Therefore, we recommend an informal notification to your responsible supervisory authority, e.g. the district government.
Do I have to repurchase the strains regularly?
You have the option of (1) keeping the strains in your own cryobank (freezing and regrowth of the stock cultures) and storing them long-term. For this, we recommend Multi-CultiControl (1 pellet + 1 rehydrating fluid vial) combined with a storage system (e.g. Cryobank® System).
Alternatively (2) you can work without your own cryobank and regularly establish fresh cultures from fresh pellets. For this, you can choose between the CultiControl or Microtrol™ products.
Application videos on handling reference strains and establishing the cryobank can be found in our section Self-study under www.aurosan.de
We have also compiled an overview on "Reference strains for internal quality control" in our Info-Memo.
