Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 19433 LYFO DISK (6)

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 do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to help and provide you with a non-binding offer.

Is handling reference strains subject to approval?

The requirement for approval when using reference strains in a medical laboratory, limited to the purpose of quality management for your in-vitro diagnostics, is not clearly regulated. We therefore 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 either (1) propagating the strains yourself using a cryo-procedure (freezing and regrowth of 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 propagate the strains yourself but want to repurchase them after consumption, you can choose between LYFO DISK™ and Microtrol™.

Application videos on handling the reference germs 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 the topic of "Reference strains for internal quality control" for you in our Info Memo.
