Store the stock solution at 4 6 3C.8.5 Preparation of Nanoparticulate Test Samples:8.5.1 For the initial dose, use the highest concentration ofnanoparticles that is well dispersed in a physiologic solution. Ifthe concentration in the e
23、nd use application is known, that maybe used as the starting concentration. The material shall be wellcharacterized under physiological conditions according tostandard methods including those recommended in PracticesF1877 and F1903. The nanoparticulate material for testingshall be in physiologic sol
24、ution which is isotonic with a pH of7.2 6 2. This solution shall be defined and the particles shall becharacterized in this solution. The number of particles/mL andmg/mL shall be indicated. Prior characterization shall beperformed as appropriate to allow adequate data interpretation.For example, lot
25、-to-lot variations in particle size and surfacecharacteristics of the particles could result in different assayresults. If the particles suspension is sterile, the method ofsterilization shall be indicated. The nanoparticulate materialand the buffer used for its storage/reconstitution shall be teste
26、din the same assay. The assay requires at least 300 mL of testmaterial and enough for diluting. The starting suspension shallbe diluted in DPBS with serial one to five (1:5) dilutions atleast three times to give four test samples in the assay.8.5.2 Since some nanoparticulate materials may absorb att
27、he designated 540-nm wavelength, it is suggested that a trialof the material in DPBS be tested at 540 nm. If absorption isevident, it is advisable to determine if high-speed centrifuga-tion will pellet the particles and remove the interference. Whencentrifugation is not applicable, an assay result o

Remember to use a dilution factorof 2 for the PFH sample and a dilution factor of 251 for TBH.If the calculated PFH concen

Procedure with the Test Material10.1 Dilute pooled whole blood with Ca2+/Mg2+-free DPBSto adjust TBH concentration to 10 6 1 mg/mL based on resultsfrom 9.5.10.2 Add 100.0
38、L of sample, reagent blank (PBS or otherbuffer used to dissolve nanoparticles), positive control solution,and negative control solution to microcentrifuge tubes. Preparesix tubes for each unknown sample, three tubes for the blank,two tubes for the positive control, and two tubes for thenegative cont

In thesetubes, add 100 L of Ca2+/Mg2+-free DPBS. These samplesrepresent a “minus blood” control and are used to evaluatepotential inter
40、ference of nanomaterial with the assay (forexample, absorbance at or close to 540 nm, reactivity withCMH reagent, and so forth).10.5 Cover tubes and gently rotate to mix. At each 30-mininterval, observe whether the sample of nanoparticlesflocculate, disperse, sink, or float during testing.NOTE 3Vort
41、exing may damage erythrocytes and shall be avoided.10.6 Place the tubes in a water bath set at 37 6 1C andincubate for 3 h 6 15 min mixing the sample by rotation every30 min.Alternatively, tubes may be incubated on a tube rotatorin an incubator set at 37 6 1C.10.7 Remove the tubes from water bath or
42、 incubator. If awater bath was used, dry the tubes with absorbent paper.10.8 Centrifuge the tubes for 15 min at 800 g.10.9 When centrifugation is complete, examine the tubesand record any unusual appearance of the supernatant or pelletthat can indicate additional damage to the red blood cells or the
43、hemoglobin or adsorption of hemoglobin to the particles. SeeFig. 1.10.10 In Fig. 1, commercially available preparations ofpolystyrene nanoparticles with size 20 nm (Tube 1) and 50 nm(Tube 2) demonstrated hemolytic activity that can be observedby the color of the supernatant. Polystyrene nanoparticle

If the supernatant of this
45、sample is used in the assay,the absorbance at 540 nm will demonstrate a negative result.Sample #4 is the negative control. No hemolytic activity wasobserved in the supernatant, and the intact red blood cellsformed a tight dark red pellet on the bottom of the tube.10.11 If the nanoparticles have an a
46、bsorbance at or close to540 nm, removal of these particles from the supernatant will berequired before proceeding to the next step (see 8.5).
