Which reference strains do you need as 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 will be happy to help and provide you with a non-binding offer.

Is handling reference strains subject to approval?

There are no clear regulations regarding the requirement for approval when using reference strains in a medical laboratory, 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 need to repurchase the strains regularly?

You have the option to either (1) re-culture 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 reculture 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" in our Info-Memo.
