Charles River实验室推出便携式内毒素检测系统

 
一种便携式检测系统(PTS)能够检测医疗设备、生物产品和药物中的内毒素污染，能够用于各种环境，包括太空船。

这种手持系统适合现场检测，能够在15分钟提供检测结果，而当前的方法需要45分钟～数天。PTS使用抛弃式装置能够预先装备试剂和便携式手持阅读仪，能够提供内毒素的定量结果。除此之外，简单的一键式操作只需要最小的操作培训，数据能够存储在PTS中，可以下载至计算机或者打印出来。

Charles River实验室(Wilmington, MA, USA)已经获得了美国食品药品管理局(FDA)对这种便携式内毒素检测系统Endosafe-PTS销售和上市的批准。PTS系统将会用于医院、血透诊所、核医学、干细胞研究和行星保护。

Portable System Detects Endotoxins
 
A portable test system (PTS) can detect endotoxin contaminants in medical devices, biologic products, drugs, and can be used for other applications, including spacecraft missions.

Suitable for point-of-use testing, the hand-held system provides quantitative results in 15 minutes, in contrast to current methods, which take from 45 minutes to several days. The PTS utilizes disposable cartridges that are pre-loaded with reagents and a portable, handheld reader to provide quantitative endotoxin amounts. In addition, the simple one-button operation requires minimal technical training and the data can be stored in the PTS, downloaded to a computer, and/or printed.

Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, MA, USA) has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the sale and marketing of Endosafe-PTS, the portable endotoxin detection system. The PTS system will be used in hospitals, dialysis clinics, nuclear medicine, stem cell research, and planetary protection.
