Validation Procedures for the Bacterial Endotoxins Test

Bacterial endotoxin is the most significant pyrogen in the Parenteral drug and medical device industries because of its extreme potency and ubiquity in nature. Pyrogen is found on every site or substance where bacterial growth takes place. Bioburden and endotoxin testing are the critical means for assessing control of pyrogens. This chapter describes the two types of LAL-test procedures that are used to validate applications of the Bacterial Endotoxins Test (BET) in the parenteral industry. Regulatory and compendial documents that pertain to the control and measurement of endotoxin are reviewed here to identify specific requirements.
