Which reference strains do you need?
As a rule, the instructions for use (IFU) of the products / devices / methods you wish to verify provide information on the recommended strains and quality controls for internal quality control. 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 handling reference strains subject to approval?
The approval requirement for using reference strains in registered medical laboratories, limited to the purpose of quality management for 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 need to repurchase the strains regularly?
You have the option to either (1) maintain the strains in your own cryobank (freezing and regrowth of stock cultures) and store them long-term. For this, we recommend Multi-CultiControl (1 pellet + 1 rehydrating fluid vial) combined with a storage system (e.g., Cryobank® System).
Alternatively (2) you can work without your own cryobank and regularly establish fresh cultures from fresh pellets. For this, you can choose between CultiControl or Microtrol™ products.
Application videos on handling reference strains and establishing a cryobank can be found in our section Self-study at www.aurosan.de
We have also compiled an overview on "Reference Strains for Internal Quality Control" for you in our Info-Memo.
