Microtrol™ Bacillus spizizenii ATCC 6633 (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?

There are no clear regulations regarding the need for approval when using reference strains in medical laboratories, limited to the purpose of quality management for your in-vitro diagnostics. Therefore, we recommend 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 to either (1) subculture the strains yourself using a cryopreservation method (freezing and re-growth 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 subculture the strains yourself but want to repurchase them after use, you can choose between LYFO DISK™ and Microtrol™.

Application videos on handling reference microorganisms 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" for you in our Info Memo.
