Principal Microbiology Tests
STERILITY: Detection of live microorganisms
PYROGEN: Detection of cell-wall fragments from Gram(-) bacteria. History of a product’s exposure to GNB

Endotoxins and Pyrogens
Pyrogens are fever-inducing agents in humans and animals
include endotoxin, gram + cell debris, fungi
Endotoxins are components from the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria

EndotoxinEndotoxin - Component from outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria
Environmental (unpurified) endotoxin: complex of protein, carbohydrate & lipid Purified endotoxin: lipopolysaccharide molecule of polysaccharide and lipid a, without protein

Purified Endotoxin - LipopolysaccharidePasses through sterilizing membrane filtersLipid A region causes LAL reaction and potent pharmacological activities associated with endotoxin poorly dispersible in waterpyrogenicity correlates with LAL assays

Why Test for Endotoxins?
To protect against adverse reactions (sepsis) in humans and animalsFDA and USP guidelines require final product testing on all parenterals and medical devicesTo safeguard against diminished effectiveness of a product due to endotoxin

How to Quantify the Amount of Endotoxin in the Sample
A standard curve is constructed by plotting the log of onset time versus the log of concentration

49
Summary of Kinetic AssayThe amount of endotoxin present is inversely proportional to the time of reaction
the more endotoxin present, the quicker the well or tube will react (change color or become turbid)
A standard curve is generated based on how long each of the standards take to reach an onset ODUnknowns are then compared to the standard curve to generate a endotoxin values

LAL Application - Dialysis
Testing of dialysis water and concentrateTesting performed in clinics, hospitals, and reference labsGel clot is method of choice because of low volume of testsNew AMMI limit on water for dialysis is 2 EU/ml

LAL Application - cell culture
Effects of endotoxin very greatly depending on cell line.in vitro fertilization adversely affectedClassified broadly as a parenteral product
Endotoxin testing by BET is imminent
