Nanotechnologies - Endotoxin test on nanomaterial samples for in vitro systems - Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) test (ISO 29701:2010)

ISO 29701:2010 describes the application of a test using Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) reagent for the evaluation of nanomaterials intended for cell-based in vitro biological test systems. The test is suitable for use with nanomaterial samples dispersed in aqueous media, e.g. water, serum or reaction medium, and to such media incubated with nanomaterials for an appropriate duration at 37 °C.
ISO 29701:2010 is restricted to test samples for in vitro systems, but the methods can also be adapted to nanomaterials to be administered to animals by parenteral routes.

Nanotechnologien - Endotoxinprüfung an Proben aus Nanomaterial für In-vitro-Systeme - Limulus-Amoebozyten-Lysat-Prüfung (LAL-Prüfung) (ISO 29701:2010)

Die vorliegende Internationale Norm beschreibt die Anwendung einer Prüfung mit einem Limulus-Amoebozyten-Lysat-Reagenz (LAL) für die Evaluierung von Nanomaterialien, die für biologische In vitro-Prüfsysteme auf Zellbasis bestimmt sind. Die Prüfung ist für die Anwendung mit in wässrigen Medien, z. B. Wasser, Serum oder Reaktionsmedium, dispergierten Nanomaterialproben geeignet und für derartige Medien, die für eine angemessene Dauer bei 37 °C mit Nanomaterialien inkubiert wurden.
Diese Internationale Norm ist auf Prüfobjekte für In vitro-Systeme beschränkt, jedoch können die Verfahren auch an Nanomaterialien angepasst werden, die Tieren auf parenteralen Wegen zugeführt werden.

Nanotechnologies - Essai de détection d'endotoxines sur des échantillons de nanomatériaux pour des systèmes in vitro - Essai au lysat d'amébocyte de Limule (LAL) (ISO 29701:2010)

L'ISO 29701:2010 décrit l'application d'un essai utilisant le réactif LAL (lysat d'amébocytes de limule) en vue d'évaluer des nanomatériaux destinés à des systèmes d'essai biologique sur cultures cellulaires in vitro. L'essai est approprié à une utilisation avec des échantillons de nanomatériaux dispersés dans un milieu aqueux, par exemple de l'eau, du sérum physiologique ou un milieu de réaction, ainsi qu'à des milieux incubés avec des nanomatériaux pendant un temps donné à 37 °C.
L'ISO 29701:2010 est conçue pour des échantillons destinés à des systèmes in vitro, toutefois, les méthodes peuvent également être adaptées à des nanomatériaux étant administrés à des animaux par voies parentérales.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 29701 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 229, Nanotechnologies.

Introduction
Endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides LPS) are part of the outer membrane of the cell wall of Gram-negative
bacteria such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Pseudomonas, Neisseria, Haemophilus. Endotoxins can cause
a variety of systemic reactions in mammals, including humans, such as fever, disseminated intravascular
coagulation, hypotension, shock and death: the responses are mediated by production of various kinds of
cytokines, activation of the complement cascade, activation of the coagulation cascade, etc. Endotoxins are
present in the ordinary environment. Since most test samples of nanomaterials intended for in vitro and in vivo
test systems require various preparation procedures, endotoxins might contaminate the test nanomaterials if
the samples are prepared without special care.
For the purpose of toxicity screening or biocompatibility testing of nanomaterials, or mechanism studies on the
possible toxicity induced by nanomaterials, various cell-based in vitro test systems and in vivo animal models
are being developed and employed. In in vitro test systems, macrophages and other relevant mammalian cells
are frequently used as the test cells especially for nanomaterials because they are primarily the responsible
surveillance ce
