To optimize time in the laboratory routine, Controllab ships certified strains that replace the passages. They are strains for prompt delivery, in the amount defined by the laboratory, from the selected microorganisms. Certified strains confer more confidence and credibility in quality control, facilitating the process to comply with Anvisa / VISA standards, audits, accreditations and inspections.
Most of the strains supplied are first generation, or at most up to the third generation, avoiding mutations and phenotypic changes that can affect the results obtained in the analyzes.
This definition of generations complies with the various standards for accreditation processes of laboratories and regulatory bodies in the area.
The laboratory enrolled in the program uses reference strains certified with quality and international recognition.
The lyophilized bacteria strains originate from the oldest culture collection in this category: NCTC (National Collection of Type Cultures).
By joining the program, there is a continuous supply of the number of strains the laboratory needs, according to the schedule determined by the client.
The laboratory also has immediate access to extraordinary purchases, due to the large and secure strain deposit of Controllab.
With the maintenance of microorganisms and the scheduled supply of strains, the teams involved in the analysis and acquisition processes gain more time to dedicate themselves to other routine activities.

Controllab, in its continuous search to provide the best solutions for laboratory quality control and attentive to laboratory challenges to remain sustainable and optimized resources, is expanding the initiatives in the microbiological area and begins these actions with the collaboration of the PHE - Public Health England.
PHE is the custodian of four unique collections, consisting of authentically preserved cell lines and microbial strains of known origin.
Among the collections, the NCTC (National Collection of Type Cultures) is the oldest of its kind - founded in 1920 - and has strains registered at the World Data Center for Microorganisms (WDCM).
The Strains Control Program is born with the commitment to deliver strains most of the 1st generation or up to the 3rd generation to laboratories. This commitment will help organizations to efficiently comply with the various regulations in the microbiological area for laboratory accreditation processes and regulatory agencies.
Authenticated reference strains are of paramount importance for the control of clinical diagnostic exams.By enrolling in the Strains Control Program, the laboratory tem acesso a um service with internationally recognized quality standards and immediate delivery.
Perpetuates lab quality and credibility
Contributes to the efficiency of analysis processes
Uses strains from internationally recognized culture collection
Controls exam quality processes with authenticated strains
Accompanies certificates that prove the authenticity of the microorganism
Promotes confidence in the microbiological processes
This practicality allows the laboratory to simplify the routine, gain more agility and reduce costs and time involved in testing and recording to ensure the quality of the peals in the process and to be audited.
The controls consist of 15 slides of:
Gram CONTROL - Smeared slides containing Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli microorganisms.
