ROUTINE QUALITY CONTROL MICROORGANISM

Definition

Phenotypically characterized strains that are developped according to recommendations of/made available by the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (EUCAST) for quality control.

The microbial strains have predictable characteristics and are used routinely to monitor the performance of the laboratory (e.g. culture media, identification tests).

The microbial strain preparations are derived from ATCC® (American Type Culture Collection), NCTC® (National Collection of Type Cultures, operated by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)

Quality Standards Comment

EUCAST recommendations - version 8

Components

The quality control microorganisms are packaged in a resealable vial that contains five lyophilized pellets of a single microorganism strain and a desiccant to prevent adverse accumulation of moisture

Technical specifications

  • Freeze dried bacterial strains
  • Microorganisms for standard protocols should be used within five passages of the ATCC reference culturex
  • ATCC: Each lyophilized microorganism preparation is less than or equal to four (4) passages from a reference culture.
  • NCTC: Each lyophilized microorganism preparation is one (1) passage from the reference NCTC culture.

Packaging & Labelling

1 vial contains 5 lyophilized pellets

Transport Dangerous Goods

  • UN3373
  • Class 6.2
  • Proper shipping name: Biological substance, Category B
