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 help, 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. Therefore, we recommend an informal notification to your responsible supervisory authority, e.g., the regional government.

Do I have to re-purchase the strains regularly?

You have the option of either (1) re-cultivating the strains yourself using a cryo-procedure (freezing and re-growth 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 re-cultivate the strains yourself, but want to re-purchase them after consumption, you can choose between LYFO DISK™ and Microtrol™.

Application videos for handling the reference strains and for setting 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" in our Info-Memo.
