Coryne bact. renale ATCC 19412 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. If you have any questions or need 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 the medical laboratory, limited to the purpose of quality management of your in-vitro diagnostics, is not clearly regulated. We therefore recommend that you make an informal report to the supervisory authority responsible for you, e.g. the district government.

Do I have to repurchase the strains regularly?

You have the option of either (1) re-cultivating the strains yourself using a cryopreservation method (freezing and re-growing the stock cultures) and storing 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-cultivate the strains yourself but want to repurchase them after use, you can choose between LYFO DISK™ and Microtrol™.

Application videos on handling reference cultures and setting up the cryobank can be found in our "Self-study" section at www.aurosan.de

We have also compiled a further overview on "Reference strains for internal quality control" for you in our Info-Memo.
