Medical devices - pyrogenic monocyte activation test (Ph. EP 2.6.30)
Parameters (qualitative): monocyte activation, IL-6 Article Number: 2011287 Description: The samples are analyzed according to the semi-quantitative method from Ph. EP 2.6.30. The samples are a simulated extract. The extraction is not part of the proficiency test. An endotoxin standard is provided by us for better comparability. The activation of the monocytes should preferably be determined using human IL-6 ELISA. The proficiency test is evaluated qualitatively. Category: immunological, molecular biological and microbiological testing medical devices in vitro procedure Accreditation: This proficiency test is not included in the scope of the accreditation. |
