Which reference strains do you need as 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 will be 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 a medical laboratory, limited to the purpose of quality management for your in-vitro diagnostics, is not clearly regulated. We therefore recommend that you make an informal notification to your responsible supervisory authority, e.g., the district government.

Do I have to re-purchase the strains regularly?

You have the option of either (1) propagating 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., the 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 strains and setting up the cryobank can be found in our "Self-Study" section here under 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 .
