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.

Is the handling of reference strains subject to approval?

The requirement for approval when using reference strains in the medical laboratory, limited to the purpose of quality management of your in-vitro diagnostics, is not clearly regulated. We therefore recommend an informal notification to your responsible supervisory authority, e.g. the district government.

Do I have to reorder the strains regularly?

You have the option to either (1) propagate the strains yourself using a cryopreservation method (freezing and regrowth of the stock cultures) and store 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 propagate the strains yourself but want to reorder 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 at www.aurosan.de

We have also compiled a further overview on the topic of "Reference strains for internal quality control" in our Info Memo.
