Which reference strains do you need?
As a rule, the instructions for use (IFU) of the products / devices / methods you wish to check provide information on the recommended strains and quality controls for internal quality controls. If you have any questions or require assistance, please contact us. We will be happy to help and provide you with a non-binding offer.
Is handling reference strains subject to approval?
The approval requirement for using reference strains in registered medical laboratories, limited to the purpose of quality management of your in-vitro diagnostics, is not clearly regulated. We therefore recommend 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 the strains in your own cryobank (freezing and re-cultivating 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 can 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 how to handle reference strains and set up the cryobank can be found in our self-study section 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 .
