Microtrol™ E. coli ATCC 25922 (25 Sheets)

Which reference strains do you need for internal quality control?

Usually, 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 is no clear regulation regarding the obligation to obtain approval for the use of reference strains in medical laboratories, limited to the purpose of quality management of your in-vitro diagnostics. 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 to either (1) re-cultivate the strains yourself using a cryopreservation process (freezing and re-growth of the strain 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 re-cultivate the strains yourself but want to repurchase them after consumption, 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/de/fortbildung/selbststudium

We have also compiled a further overview on the topic of "Reference Strains for Internal Quality Control" for you in our Info Memo .
