1、Designation: F895 11 (Reapproved 2016)Standard Test Method forAgar Diffusion Cell Culture Screening for Cytotoxicity1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F895; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of originaladoption or, in the case of revision, the year

2、 of last revision.Anumber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscriptepsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method is appropriate for materials in a varietyof shapes and for materials that are not necessarily sterile

3、. Thistest method would be appropriate in situations in which theamount of material is limited. For example, small devices orpowders could be placed on the agar and the presence of a zoneof inhibition of cell growth could be examined.1.1.1 This test method is not appropriate for leachables thatdo no

4、t diffuse through agar or agarose.1.1.2 While the agar layer can act as a cushion to protect thecells from the specimen, there may be materials that aresufficiently heavy to compress the agar and prevent diffusion orto cause mechanical damage to the cells. This test methodwould not be appropriate fo

5、r these materials.1.2 The L-929 cell line was chosen because it has asignificant history of use in assays of this type. This is notintended to imply that its use is preferred, only that the L-929is an established cell line, well characterized and readilyavailable, that has demonstrated reproducible

6、results in severallaboratories.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of

7、this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method3.1 Cell cultures are grown to a monolayer in culture dishes.The medium is aspirated and replaced with an agar-containingmedium that is allowed to solidify. Test control articles

9、 areplaced on the agar surface to evaluate the cytotoxic propertiesof a given material or device. Toxic components in the testarticle can diffuse into the culture medium, forming a concen-tration gradient and adversely affecting cells at varying dis-tances from the test article. This method is well

10、suited forlow-density materials (film, paper, and so forth), powders,liquids, and high-density materials that could physically dam-age the cells if placed in direct contact with the cell monolayer.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is useful for assessing the cytotoxicpotential of new mater

11、ials and formulations and as part of aquality control program for established medical devices andcomponents.4.2 This test method assumes that assessment of cytotoxic-ity provides useful information to aid in predicting the potentialclinical applications in humans. Cell culture methods haveshown good

12、 correlation with animal assays and are frequentlymore sensitive to cytotoxic agents.4.3 This cell culture test method is suitable for incorporationinto specifications and standards for materials to be used in theconstruction of medical devices that are to be implanted intothe human body or placed i

13、n contact with tissue fluids or bloodon a long-term basis.4.4 Some biomaterials with a history of safe clinical use inmedical devices are cytotoxic. This test method does not implythat all biomaterials must pass this assay to be considered safefor clinical use (Practice F748).5. Apparatus5.1 The fol

34、asma contamination.F895 11 (2016)210. Specimen Preparation10.1 Sterilize all specimens by a method appropriate to theend use of the device.10.2 Where a device is sufficiently small (see 10.3 and 10.4)to fit into the culture dish leaving an adequate margin of cellsfor evaluation, use the entire devic

35、e as a specimen.10.3 Cut large solid materials and devices in cross section toobtain a flat surface having an area of 100 to 250 mm2to beplaced in direct contact with the agar surface.10.4 Prepare specimens of rod or tubing or of rod- ortube-shaped devices as follows:10.4.1 Where the diameter is les

36、s than 6.4 mm, cut 5 to 15mm in length.10.4.2 Where the diameter is 6.4 to 15 mm, cut 2 to 8 mmin length.10.4.3 Where the diameter exceeds 15 mm, prepare crosssections as described in 10.3.10.5 Obtain specimens from larger medical items fromlocations with relatively large cross sections to expose in

37、teriormaterial.10.6 If a device is constructed of two or more materials thatare intended to contact body fluids or tissues, either cut the testspecimen from the materials interface or test separate speci-mens of each material or both.10.7 Prepare specimens for evaluating the cytotoxicity ofliquids o

38、r extracts by saturating a sterile filter disk and allowingthe excess liquid to drain off while maintaining asepsis. Use thesaturated filter disk as a test specimen.NOTE 5When ethylene oxide or other chemical sterilants are used,adequate aeration time to permit dissipation of residues which mayadver

39、sely affect the results recorded in this assay should be determined.NOTE 6In general, specimens should be cleaned to remove anyresidues from specimen preparation and sterilized after they have been cutto size. If the specimen is very hard (for example, ceramics), care shouldbe taken to remove the re

40、sidues that may be left on the freshly cut surfaceby the cutting tool. When evaluating the cytotoxic potential of medicalmaterials or devices that are contained in the final sterile package,resterilization, further processing, or delay between the time of openingthe package and starting the test mus

41、t be avoided. With small items, theentire content of the sterile package may be used as the test specimen.When the size of the sterile packaged item is too large, an appropriate,representative, small-sized specimen must be obtained. The application ofthis assay to items in the final sterile package

42、is limited to items that aresmall or can be cut and reshaped using aseptic technique.10.8 Absorbant materials tested in this method shall beprewetted with culture medium to prevent loss of water fromthe agar and subsequent cellular damage.11. Cell Culture Maintenance11.1 Use the following procedures

43、 to maintain the cells byserial subculture:11.2 Aspirate the medium from a 150-cm2cell culture flaskcontaining a near-confluent monolayer.11.3 Rinse the cells with a sufficient volume (for example, 5to 10 mL) of Hanks balanced salt solution to remove residualserum.11.4 Aspirate the rinse solution.11

44、.5 Add a sufficient volume of trypsin solution (0.1 %) tothe flask to cover the cell monolayer (approximately 5 mL).11.6 Incubate for 5 to 10 min to suspend the cells.11.7 Transfer the cell suspension to a centrifuge tube.11.8 Centrifuge at 1300 xg for 6 min.11.9 Discard the supernatant.11.10 Resusp

45、end the cells in 10 6 0.1 mL of fresh mediumand mix the suspension thoroughly.11.11 Distribute the cell suspension equally among each oftwo to eight 150-cm2tissue culture flasks.11.12 Add a sufficient volume of fresh medium so that eachflask will contain approximately 50 mL.11.13 Change the medium e

46、very two to three days until themonolayer is nearly confluent, then repeat Steps 11.2 11.12.12. Cell Layer Preparation12.1 Prepare confluent cell monolayers as follows:12.2 Follow Steps 11.1 11.9 to prepare a cell suspension.12.3 Add 2.0 6 0.1 mL of medium to each culture dish.12.4 Using a sterile 1

47、0-mL serological pipette, add five toseven drops of cell suspension to each dish. Rotate the dishesto ensure an even distribution of cells.12.5 Incubate until a near-confluent monolayer has formed,as observed by microscopic examination.NOTE 7The formation of a near-confluent monolayer usually requir

48、esthree to five days. By counting cells with a hemacytometer (to ensure theconcentration of the inoculum), the time required for monolayer formu-lation may be regulated. A cell concentration of 1.3 105cells/mL willgive a consistent time of 24 h.12.6 If the cell suspension remains unused after Step 1

49、2.3,asubculture may be prepared by adding 9 mL of fresh mediumto each millilitre of cell suspension in a cell culture flask witha surface area of approximately 3 cm2for each millilitre ofdiluted cells and incubating it until a near-confluent monolayerhas formed, as determined by microscopic examination.13. Test Procedure13.1 Perform the agar diffusion cytotoxicity assay as fol-lows:13.2 Microscopically examine the cell cultures and rejectany in which the cell monolayer is not of correct confluency orthe cells show signs of granulation or sloughi
