Which reference strains do you need?
Generally, the instructions for use (IFU) of the products/devices/methods you want to test provide guidance on the recommended strains and quality controls for internal quality control. If you have any questions or need help, please contact us. We are happy to assist you and provide a non-binding offer.
Is the handling of reference strains subject to approval?
The requirement for approval when using reference strains in registered medical laboratories, 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 district government.
Do I need to repurchase the strains regularly?
You have the option to (1) maintain the strains in your own cryobank (freezing and re-cultivating the stock cultures) and store them long-term. For this, we recommend Multi-CultiControl (1 pellet + 1 rehydrating fluid vial) combined with a storage system (e.g., Cryobank® System).
Alternatively (2) you can work without your own cryobank and regularly prepare fresh cultures from fresh pellets . For this, you can choose between the CultiControl or Microtrol™ products.
Application videos on handling reference strains and establishing the cryobank can be found in our section Self-Study at www.aurosan.de
We have also compiled an overview on the topic of "Reference strains for internal quality control" for you in our Info-Memo .
