18、or neat oils (D2881), not intended for further dilution withwater, and water miscible soluble oils, semisynthetics andsynthetics, which are intended to be diluted with water beforeuse. Metal removal fluids become contaminated during use inthe workplace with a variety of workplace substancesincluding

19、, but not limited to, abrasive particles, tramp oils,cleaners, dirt, metal fines and shavings, dissolved metal andhard water salts, bacteria, fungi, microbiological decayproducts, and waste.

25、ndard provides a practice for analysts whoperform quantitative endotoxin analyses of water-miscibleMWF.6. Interferences6.1 Data from samples analyzed by LAL methodologies areprone to variations due to batch differences in lysatecomposition/processing, non-optimal pH and temperatures ofassay solution

26、s.6.2 In the event that the phenomenon of inhibition/enhancement influences this practice, endotoxin concentrationdata will be less than or more than actual concentrationspresent in a given MWF sample.6.3 LALassays are highly influenced by the skill/experiencelevel of the analyst.7.

Provision of personal protective equipme

34、9 CFR 1910.1450.9.4 Review material safety data sheets (MSDS) for materi-als in use at a facility to identify potential hazards to determineappropriate PPE (see 29 CFR 1910.1000).10. Sampling Procedure10.1 Sampling Site:10.1.1 Select sampling site that will yield a representativeMWF sample.10.1.2 Se

35、lect individual sump(s) or central system(s) thathas actively circulating fluids. If possible, draw sample fromthe mid-point of the fluid reservoir. Otherwise, draw samplebelow the surface of the metalworking fluid volume of interestand avoid the aspiration of extraneous floating biomass.10.1.3 Use

36、aseptic techniques with pyrogen-free apparatusto aspirate a 100-mL grab sample with a glass pipet into asuitable pyrogen-free 250-mL container and then seal securelywith a pyrogen-free lid or Parafilm M.Avoid touching inner lidand interior container areas with hands/gloves or nonpyrogeniclabware.11.

37、 Sample Storage/Shipment11.1 For best results, LAL analysis of the sample within 24hours is advisable. However, if this is not feasible, store thesealed sample container in a plastic bag and then refrigerate orpack in crushed ice at 4 6 2C. Avoid freezing sample, sincethis will adversely affect resu

38、ltant data.11.2 If the sample is shipped to an analytical laboratory,pack its container securely in cold packs (or portable refrig-eration) and expedite shipment time so that the sample arrivesat the laboratory no later than 24 hours after its acquisition.11.3 Maintain procedures for sample custody

39、in accordancewith accepted chain of custody procedures (see Guide D4840).12. Preparation of Labware12.1 Acritical consideration of quantitative LAL analyses isthat the sample must be protected against the indiscriminateintroduction of exogenous sources of endotoxin:12.1.1 Commercially packaged labwa

40、re used in LAL analy-ses shall be clearly marked as “pyrogen-free,” “endotoxin-free,” “depyrogenated,” or clearly identified as suitable for usein LAL analyses. A certificate of authentication shall accom-pany labware that attests to its pyrogen-free condition. Manu-facturer ID, lot numbers, expirat

41、ion dates, and authentication/certification information shall be recorded in laboratorynotebooks.12.1.2 Commercially packaged labware that is nominallydescribed or labeled as “sterile,” “sterilized,” “disinfected,” orotherwise identified as suitable for routine microbiologicalusage only shall not be

42、 used in this standard practice, due to thepossibility of the presence of residual endotoxin on criticallabware surfaces.12.1.3 Prior to use in this standard practice, non-pyrogen-free glass or metal labware that will be used in LAL analysesshall be subjected to the depyrogenation procedure describe

43、d inSection 13 of this standard. The analyst shall not use plasticlabware, due to the possibility of introducing non-specificassay interferences, or causing container-related adsorption ofendotoxin onto surfaces, or both.13. Depyrogenation Procedure13.1 Thoroughly clean labware and then rinse twice

44、inpyrogen-free water.13.2 Bake glassware at 250C for1hinalaboratoryconvection-type oven. As part of quality assurance procedures,check oven heating performance with a NTIS-calibrated ther-mometer before each depyrogenation batch run.13.3 The analyst shall avoid indiscriminate contaminationof depyrog

45、enated labware.14. Extraction Procedure14.1 This critical procedure shall be performed by a single,experienced analyst only.14.2 Open the container with collected sample in anegative-pressure biosafety cabinet (or under a chemical fumeevacuation hood), and stir the sample vigorously with apyrogen-fr

46、ee glass rod for 1 min.14.3 Aspirate 20 mL of MWF (center, midway depth) andtransfer to a pyrogen-free test tube.14.4 Bath sonicate sample in test tube at a minimum peakfrequency of 40 kHz for1hat256 2C (or place on amechanical shaker/vortexer for 1 h).14.5 Centrifuge solution in a pyrogen-free tube

47、 at 1000 g forat least 15 min.14.6 Remove centrifuge tube and note zoning layers: trampoil (upper layer); MWF (middle layer); suspended solids(bottom layer).14.7 Pipet and discard tramp oil layer with a pyrogen-freepipet tip.E2657 16314.8 Pipet MWF layer with a pyrogen-free pipet tip.15. Microtiter

48、Plate Template Set-up15.1 Record microtiter well assignments for the 96-wellmicrotiter plate for each set of analytical solutions (in tripli-cate) in laboratory notebook.15.1.1 Samples (in triplicate).15.1.2 Standard serial solutions (in triplicate for each con-centration in the dilution series).15.

49、1.3 PFW blanks (in triplicate).15.1.4 Positive control (in triplicate record endotoxinspike concentration).NOTE 1If Parafilm M is utilized to cover vessels containing samplematerial, the extraction procedure needs to be conducted on a 1-cm2piece,and triplicates of the extract shall be subjected to LAL analysis.15.2 Program microtiter plate well locations into platereader software in accordance with predetermined templateassignments.16. Preparation of Assay Solutions16.1 Use 1.0 N HCl or 1.0 N NaOH for pH adjustment ofthe MWF sample to pH 7.5.16.2 Use fres
