Legionella pneumophila ATCC 33152 KWIK STIK (2)

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.

Do you need approval to use reference strains?

The requirement for approval when using reference strains in medical laboratories, 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 repurchase the strains regularly?

You have the option of either (1) re-cultivating the strains yourself using a cryopreservation method (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., the Cryobank® system).
Alternatively (2), if you do not want to re-cultivate the strains yourself but want to repurchase them after use, you can choose between LYFO DISK™ and Microtrol™.

Application videos on how to handle the reference strains and how to set 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" for you in our info memo .
