Which reference strains do you need?
As a rule, the instructions for use (IFU) of the products / devices / methods you want to check 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 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 that you make an informal notification to your responsible supervisory authority, e.g. the district government.
Do I have to re-purchase the strains regularly?
You have the option of either (1) maintaining your own cryobank of strains (freezing and regrowth of 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 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 how to handle the reference strains and how to set up the cryobank can be found in our section Self-study 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.
