Which reference strains do you need for internal quality control?
As a rule, the instructions for use (IFU) provide information on the recommended strains and quality controls from the manufacturers. Should you have any questions or require assistance, please contact us. We are happy to help and provide you with a non-binding offer.
Is the handling of reference strains subject to approval?
The requirement for approval when using reference strains in medical laboratories, limited to the purpose of quality management of your in-vitro diagnostics, is not clearly regulated. Therefore, we recommend an informal notification to your responsible supervisory authority, e.g., the district government.
Do I have to reorder the strains regularly?
You have the option to either (1) subculture the strains yourself using a cryopreservation method (freezing and re-growth of the stock cultures) and store them long-term. For this, we recommend KWIK-STIK™ combined with a storage system (e.g., Cryobank® System).
Alternatively (2), if you do not want to subculture the strains yourself, but want to reorder after consumption, you can choose between LYFO DISK™ and Microtrol™ .
Application videos on handling the reference cultures and setting up the cryobank can be found in our section "Self-study" at www.aurosan.de
We have also compiled a further overview on "Reference strains for internal quality control" for you in our Info-Memo .
