Which reference strains do you need?
As a rule, the instructions for use (IFU) of the products / devices / methods you want to verify provide information on the recommended strains and quality controls for internal quality controls. If you have any questions or need help with this, please contact us. We are happy to help and provide you with a non-binding offer.
Is handling reference strains subject to approval?
The requirement for approval when using reference strains in registered medical laboratories, 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 district government.
Do I have to repurchase the strains regularly?
You have the option of (1) maintaining the strains in your own cryobank (freezing and re-growing 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 establish fresh cultures from fresh pellets. For this, you can choose between the CultiControl or Microtrol™ products.
Application videos on how to handle the reference microorganisms 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 of "Reference strains for internal quality control" for you in our Info-Memo.
