Which reference strains do you need?
As a rule, the instructions for use (IFU) for the products / devices / methods you wish to test provide information on the recommended strains and quality controls for internal quality controls. If you have any questions or need help, please contact us. We will be happy to assist you and provide a non-binding offer.
Is handling reference strains subject to approval?
There is no clear regulation regarding the obligation for approval when using reference strains in a registered 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 (1) maintain the strains in your own cryobank (freezing and regrowing 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 establish fresh cultures from fresh pellets. For this, you can choose between CultiControl or Microtrol™ products.
Application videos on handling reference strains and establishing a 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.
