Which reference strains do you need?
As a rule, the instructions for use (IFU) of the products / devices / methods you wish to test provide information on the recommended strains and quality controls for internal quality controls. Should you have any questions or require assistance, please contact us. We are happy to help and provide you with a non-binding offer.
Is the handling of reference strains subject to approval?
There is no clear regulation regarding the obligation to obtain approval for the use of reference strains in registered medical laboratories, limited to the purpose of quality management of your in-vitro diagnostics. Therefore, we recommend an informal notification to the supervisory authority responsible for you, e.g., the district government.
Do I have to repurchase the strains regularly?
You have the option to (1) maintain your own cryobank (freezing and re-cultivating 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 prepare fresh cultures from fresh pellets. For this, you can choose between CultiControl or Microtrol™ products.
Application videos on handling reference strains and setting up 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 .
