Additional equipment includes a stainless steel penicylinders, penicylinder dropper, cuvettes, pipettor and micropipette, pH meter, hot plate, adjustable- temperature water bath, incubator and a manual/automatic plate reader or UV- VIS spectrophotometer. Equipment in direct contact with the test microorganism should be clean (i.e. residue free) and sterile. Residues (e.g. antibiotic or detergent) may interfere with antibiotic potency testing. Methods of equipment cleaning and dry and heat sterilization should have appropriate validation and verification checks to ensure glassware is clean and sterile. See USP <81> for penicylinder cleaning instructions and USP <1051> Cleaning Glass Apparatus, for glassware cleaning instructions. Equipment used to provide a unit of measurement should have the appropriate validation and frequent verification checks to ensure reliable and reproducible results; examples of such equipment include a weight scale, pH meter, autoclave, micrometer, manual/automatic plate reader and UV-VIS spectrophotometer. For more information on manual and automatic plate readers, see section titled Antibiotic Potency Testing: Plate Method. Testing can be performed on a laboratory benchtop and does not require setup in a clean room or a laminar flow hood. However, it is important to exercise aseptic technique when working with general growth media and test organisms to prevent cross contamination. When performing the plate method, it is important to use a laboratory bench top that has been checked with a level. The bench top will be used to prepare single and bi-layer agar plates. If the bench top is not level, liquid agar could potentially pool unevenly within a petri plate. Unevenly distributed agar causes uneven antibiotic diffusion. Zones of inhibition formed after diffusion should be uniform in shape (i.e. circular). Irregular shaped ZOIs do not have a diameter that can be measured accurately. Irregular shapes include ovoid, elliptical and/or any shape without a uniform and defined perimeter. C. Test Organism, Inoculum Preparation and Standardization Antibiotic potency is dependent upon antibiotic-microorganism specificity. USP <81> identifies specific microorganisms and correlating antibiotics for testing. Prior to use in test, the test microorganism must be characterized as pure and robust. Primary and working cultures must be aseptically prepared and dedicated to preventing contamination of the primary test microorganism. If the primary and/or working culture becomes contaminated, perform a visual inspection and basic microscopy for typical growth characteristics and morphology. Additionally, AOAC approved rapid identity testing methods such |
