The test is carried out in a manner that avoids endotoxin contamination.细菌内毒素检查法有3种:凝胶法,基于凝胶的形成;浊度法,BACTERIAL ENDOTOXINS TEST U

7、nt.1There are two types of techniques for this test: the gel-clot techniques, which are based on gel formation, and the photometric techniques.

9、nograph.In the gel-clot techniques, the reaction endpoint is determined from dilutions of the material under test in direct comparison with parallel dilutions of a reference endotoxin, and quantities of endotoxin are expressed in USP Endotoxin Units (USP-EU).NOTEOne USP-EU is equal to one IU of endo
10、toxin.Because LAL Reagents have been formulated to be used also for turbidimetric or colorimetric tests, such tests may be used to comply with the requirements. These tests require the establishment of a standard regression curve; the endotoxin content of the test material is determined by interpola
11、tion from the curve. The procedures include incubation for a preselected time of reacting endotoxin and control solutions with LAL Reagent and reading of the spectrophotometric light absorbance at suitable wavelengths. In the endpoint turbidimetric procedure the reading is made immediately at the en
12、d of the incubation period. In the endpoint colorimetric procedure the reaction is arrested at the end of the preselected time by the addition of an enzyme reaction-terminating agent prior to the readings. In the turbidimetric and colorimetric kinetic assays the absorbance is measured throughout the
13、 reaction period and rate values are determined from those readings.APPARATUS AND GLASSWAREDepyrogenate all glassware and other heat-stable materials in a hot-air oven using a validated process.2Commonly used minimum time and temperature settings are 30 minutes at 250. If employing plastic apparatus

15、TOCK SOLUTION AND STANDARD SOLUTIONSTheUSP Endotoxin RShas a defined potency of 10,000 USP Endotoxin Units (EU) per vial. Constitute the entire contents of 1 vial of the RSE with 5 mL of LAL Reagent Water3, mix intermittently for 30 minutes, using a vortex mixer, and use this concentrate for making
16、appropriate serial dilutions. Preserve the concentrate in a refrigerator for making subsequent dilutions for not more than 14 days. Mix vigorously, using a vortex mixer, for not less than 3 minutes before use. Mix each dilution for not less than 30 seconds before proceeding to make the next dilution. Do not store dilutions, because of
