Pyrogen
(LAL) Testing - FDA Guideline, USP
<85>, AAMI ST72:2002
MicroMed performs pyrogen testing in accordance
with FDA guidelines to determine the level of
bacterial endotoxin present on devices. MicroMed
provides kinetic turbidimetric, chromogenic and
gel clot methods and our experts can help determine
sources of endotoxin when specifications are exceeded.
In addition, MicroMed tests water samples for
endotoxin contamination to ensure that water systems
are performing within the required specifications.
For an additional charge, results can be provided
the day samples are received or on the weekend
if the laboratory is notified in advance.
