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 handle reference strains?
The requirement for approval when using reference strains in a 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 either (1) reproducing the strains yourself using a cryo-procedure (freezing and re-growing of the master 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 reproduce 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 germs and how to set up the cryobank can be found in our "Self-study" section (Selbststudium) at www.aurosan.de
We have also compiled another overview on the topic of "Reference strains for internal quality control" for you in our Info Memo.
