Candida tropicalis ATCC 1369 KWIK STIK (2)
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. We therefore recommend that you make an informal notification to the responsible supervisory authority, e.g. the district government.
Do I need to repurchase the strains regularly?
You have the option to either (1) re-culture the strains yourself using a cryopreservation method (freezing and regrowth 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 re-culture the strains yourself but want to repurchase them after consumption, you can choose between LYFO DISK™ and Microtrol™.
Application videos on how to handle the reference germs and how to set up the cryobank can be found in our "Self-study" section at www.aurosan.de
We have also compiled a further overview on the topic of "Reference strains for internal quality control" for you in our Info Memo.
