Application of the kinetic turbidimetric limulus test to ceftazidime injection / 中国药理学通报

ABSTRACT

AIM The kinetic turbidimetric Limulus test was used in the endotoxin assay of Ceftazidime injection. METHODS The validation test was fulfiled ,when the amount of endotoxin spiked in Ceftazidime injection sample(Lot.No.010202) in which concentration of its dilution solution were 10,5,2,1,0 5 g?L -1 . They were recovered in 60 08%, 82 90%, 85 22%, 94 00%, 92 67%; with the amount of endotoxin spiked in Ceftazidime sample (Lot.No. 010103, 010104, 010202),their 1 g?L -1 dilution were recovered in 109 9%, 101 7% and 86 56%. RESULTS With standard endotoxin working curve is 5 00, 0 500, 0 0500 ZU?L -1 . The 1 g?L -1 solution to Ceftazidime was effective to eliminate the interference in Limulus test. CONCLUSION The kinetic turbidimetric Limulus test provide a new way to the detection of endotoxin in Ceftazidime injection.
