Which reference strains do you need?
As a rule, the instructions for use (IFU) of the products / devices / methods you want to check provide information on the recommended strains and quality controls for internal quality controls. If you have any questions or need help with this, please contact us. We will be happy to help you and provide you with a non-binding offer.
Is the handling of reference strains subject to approval?
The obligation to obtain approval when using reference strains in a registered 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 the responsible supervisory authority, e.g. the district government.
Do I have to repurchase the strains regularly?
You have the option of (1) maintaining the strains in your own cryobank (freezing and regrowing the stock cultures) and storing 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 work without your own cryobank and regularly create fresh cultures from fresh pellets . For this, you can choose between the CultiControl or Microtrol™ products.
Application videos on handling the reference strains and setting up the cryobank can be found in our section Self-study at www.aurosan.de
We have also compiled an overview on the topic of "Reference strains for internal quality control" for you in our Info-Memo.
