Experimental studies on bacterial endotoxin test of SAFFLOR INJECTION / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Object To establish a method for the determination of bacterial endotoxin in SAFFLOR INJECTION * Methods Thirty batches of SAFFLOR INJECTION were subjected to Limulus lysate test in comparison with pyrogen test to ascertain whether there are any interference between the lysate and SAFFLOR INJECTION Results SAFFLOR INJECTION showed no inhibition or enhancement actions in bacterial endotoxin test with Limulus lysate, while showed a 100% coincidental rate with pyrogen test Conclusion This method was found to be simple, quick, accurate and is suitable for the determination of bacterial endotoxin in SAFFLOR INJECTION
