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 assistance, please contact us. We are happy to help and provide you with a non-binding offer.
Is handling reference strains subject to approval?
There is no clear regulation on the approval requirement for using reference strains in registered medical laboratories, limited to the purpose of quality management of your in-vitro diagnostics. Therefore, we recommend an informal notification to your responsible supervisory authority, e.g., the district government.
Do I have to repurchase the strains regularly?
You have the option to either (1) maintain the strains in your own cryobank (freezing and re-culturing of the stock cultures) for long-term storage. 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 establish fresh cultures from fresh pellets. For this, you can choose between CultiControl or Microtrol™ products.
Application videos on handling reference microorganisms and establishing the cryobank can be found in our section Self-Study at www.aurosan.de
We have also compiled an overview on "Reference Strains for Internal Quality Control" for you in our Info-Memo.
