Microtrol™ Escherichia coli ATCC35218 (25 sheets)

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 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?

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 your responsible supervisory authority, e.g., the regional government office.

Do I have to repurchase the strains regularly?

You have the option of either (1) propagating the strains yourself using a cryopreservation method (freezing and regrowth 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 propagate the strains yourself but want to repurchase them after use, you can choose between LYFO DISK™ and Microtrol™ .

Application videos on how to handle reference strains and how to set up the cryobank can be found in our "Self-Study" section at www.aurosan.de.

You can also find an overview of the topic "Reference Strains for Internal Quality Control" in our Info Memo.
