Which reference strains do you need?
As a rule, the instructions for use (IFU) for the products / devices / methods you want 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 you with a non-binding offer.
Is handling reference strains subject to approval?
The requirement for approval when using reference strains in a registered medical laboratory, limited to the purpose of quality management of your in-vitro diagnostics, is not clearly regulated. We therefore recommend an informal notification to the supervisory authority responsible for you, e.g. the district government.
Do I have to repurchase the strains regularly?
You have the option of either (1) maintaining the strains in your own cryobank (freezing and re-growth of the stock cultures) and storing 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 work without your own cryobank and regularly create fresh cultures from fresh pellets. For this, you can choose between CultiControl or Microtrol™ products.
Application videos on handling reference strains and setting up the cryobank can be found in our Self-Study section at www.aurosan.de
We have also compiled an overview on the topic "Reference strains for internal quality control" for you in our Info-Memo.
