If you are assessing pharmaceutical products or medical devices for pyrogen contamination, you will be conducting endotoxin testing. However, not only endotoxins, but also non-endotoxin pyrogens, like peptidoglycan that is pyrogenic at relatively high concentrations, can contaminate samples. To decide whether you should test also for peptidoglycan in addition to endotoxin, you should conduct a risk assessment, considering the specifics of the product, the manufacturing process, and potential sources of contamination. Learn more about peptidoglycan contamination in pharmaceutical manufacturing here: https://loom.ly/hotP_RQ #biopharma #microbiology #pyrogencontamination #endotoxintesting

If you are developing a novel pharmaceutical product or medical device that may be contaminated with both endotoxin and non-endotoxin pyrogens, you may need a broad-range pyrogen test. The traditional LAL assay detects endotoxins, but not non-endotoxin pyrogens. In contrast, our LumiMAT™ Pyrogen Detection Kit, which is a luminescent assay with reporter NOMO-1 cells based on the monocyte activation test (MAT), detects a wide range of both endotoxin and non-endotoxin pyrogens with high sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility. Testing is rapid (completed within 5 hours) and requires only the addition of luminescent substrate to the plate after incubation.

If you need to establish a novel endotoxin testing program at your research laboratory, you will have to consider multiple factors. Moreover, as no universal guidelines for the selection of endotoxin testing reagents have been set up, you will need to develop your own standards and procedures, which may be a challenging and complex process. The experienced scientific team at FUJIFILM Irvine Scientific can guide you throughout this process and can help you assess important characteristics of the reagents that may affect the success of your endotoxin testing strategy, including: -Lot-to-lot variability -Purity grade -Compatibility with existing lab equipment -High-throughput potential, time requirements, and cost -Compliance with regulatory requirements Learn more about choosing the most suitable reagents for your endotoxin testing needs here: https://loom.ly/u2EoU00 #endotoxintesting #reagent #researchlaboratory #testingreagents

What an Incredible Experience we had at PharmaLab 2024! ✨ A couple of weeks ago, our team had the pleasure of attending PharmaLab 2024, in Germany and it was nothing short of amazing! We showcased our latest innovations and were thrilled to connect with so many passionate professionals in our field. A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who visited our booth, engaged in meaningful conversations, and showed interest in our products. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our offerings, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Don’t forget to check out our website for more information: https://loom.ly/qbpJctU 🌐 Let’s keep the conversation going! What was your favorite moment from PharmaLab 2024? Share in the comments! 👇 #PharmaLab2024 #Microbiology #Innovation #Networking #Pharmaceuticals Looking forward to hearing from you all!

When conducting endotoxin testing of medicinal products, you should use an assay that complies with all regulatory requirements and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). FUJIFILM Wako Chemicals’ facility in Richmond, VA is licensed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is fully compliant with GMPs. It provides a controlled, compliant, and validated environment for the manufacture of high-quality endotoxin-specific LAL reagents and a suite of complementary products.

Save the date! 🔬🌐 Timothy Francis, our Senior Technical Specialist, for the webinar "Steps needed to implement compendial USP 86 Bacterial Endotoxin Testing with FUJIFILM Wako's PYROSTAR™ Neo+ rCR reagent". 🧪✨ The USP has just released a compendial chapter on these synthetic reagents that will be official in May 2025. This webinar will present an informative overview of the considerations needed for the validation and adoption of this reagent. 📅 Date: December 12th, 2024 🕐 Time: 9:00 AM EST Register now here: 🔗 https://loom.ly/uQnTzqs We look forward to seeing you there! Feel free to share this with your network! 💬👇 Join the discussion on the adoption of PYROSTAR™ Neo+ for the bacterial endotoxin test.

What are the methods for detecting pyrogens? Several pyrogen detection methods include the RPT (Rabbit Pyrogen Test), MAT (Monocyte Activation Test), and LAL (Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate) assay. The LAL assay has gained widespread acceptance by regulatory bodies such as the FDA and international pharmacopoeias. Among LAL methods, the gel clot method is the most commonly used. This test relies on a coagulation reaction between the endotoxin and the lysate to determine its presence or absence.

If you are working at a pharmaceutical or medical equipment manufacturing site, you may be conducting endotoxin testing of multiple batches of pharmaceutical products or medical devices. In this case, you may be concerned about lot-to-lot variability of your LAL assay for endotoxin testing, which may be introduced by variable characteristics of different batches of horseshoe crab blood lysate. Our new recombinant Pyrostar™ Neo+ reagent is genetically engineered and 100% free of horseshoe crab blood. Using the Pyrostar™ Neo+ reagent reduces the risk of lot-to-lot variability and enables reliable and environmentally friendly endotoxin detection.
