Which reference strains do you need?
As a rule, the instructions for use (IFU) of the products / devices / methods you want to test provide information on the recommended strains and quality controls for internal quality control. If you have any questions or need help, please contact us. We will be happy to help and provide you with a non-binding offer.
Are permits required for handling reference strains?
The permit requirement for using reference strains in a registered medical laboratory, 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 regional government.
Do I have to repurchase the strains regularly?
You have the option to (1) maintain the strains in your own cryobank (freezing and regrowth of 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 setting up the cryobank can be found in our section Self-study under www.aurosan.de
We have also compiled an overview on the topic "Reference Strains for Internal Quality Control" for you in our Info Memo.
