Absorbance Testing Absorbance testing is a technique that measures the amount of light absorbed by a sample at a specific wavelength. Dissolved analytes such as molecules or ions have distinct arrangements of atoms connected by chemical bonds. When photons of light interact with these bonds, ground-state electrons can be promoted to an excited state at a higher energy level. The...
Sterility Testing Sterility Testing is a critical quality control procedure to ensure the absence of viable microorganisms in buffers, reagents, and media. Even minimal microbial growth can significantly alter the pH, ionic strength, and stability of a buffer, affecting its behavior and compromising experimental reproducibility or further manufacturing processes. The most widely used methodology for this testing is USP <71>...
Bioburden Testing Bioburden testing, is a quality control measurement standard used to assess microbial contamination present on various surfaces, equipment, or products. A common methodology for measuring this is USP <61> . This testing is used in industries where maintaining sterile environments and products is important. Bioburden enumeration is key in understanding the levels of microorganisms in each product during...
Microbial Growth Testing Microbiological contamination refers to the unintended introduction of microorganisms or microbes, such as bacteria, yeast, mold, fungi, and/or their by-products, into a given environment, solution, or product. History of Microbial Growth Testing The history of microbial growth testing traces back centuries, beginning with early observations of microorganisms and further developing into modern microbiological techniques. Today, microbial growth...
Endotoxin Testing Endotoxins, also known as lipopolysaccharides (LPS), are toxic substances found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. These endotoxins are released into the environment when bacterial cells die or undergo lysis. History of Endotoxin Testing Endotoxin testing has evolved over the years, starting from pyrogen testing to more refined methods like gel clot, turbidimetric, or quantitative chromogenic Limulus...
