18、national Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.1in establishing a possible relationship between mycobacteriaand occupational health related allergic responses, for example,Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP) in persons

19、exposed toaerosols of metalworking fluids. It is known that the viablemycobacteria count underestimates the total mycobacteriallevels by not counting the non-culturable, possibly dead ormoribund population that is potentially equally important in theinvestigation of occupational health related probl

20、ems. TheDirect Microscopic Counting Method (DMC) described heregives a quantitative assessment of the total numbers of acid-fast bacilli. It involves using acid-fast staining to selectivelyidentify mycobacteria from other bacteria, followed by enu-meration or direct microscopic counting of a known v

21、olumeover a known area. Although other microbesparticularly theActinomycetesalso stain acid fast, they are differentiatedfrom the mycobacteria because of their morphology and size.Non-mycobacteria, acid-fast microbes are 50 to 100 timeslarger than mycobacteria. The practice provides quantitativeinfo

22、rmation on the total (culturable and non-culturable viable,and non-viable) mycobacteria populations. The results areexpressed quantitatively as mycobacteria per mL of metal-working fluid sample.5.2 The DMC method using the acid-fast staining techniqueis a semi- quantitative method with a relatively

23、fast turnaroundtime.5.3 The DMC method can also be employed in field surveystudies to characterize the changes in total mycobacteriadensities of metalworking fluid systems over a long period oftime.5.4 The sensitivity detection limit of the DMC methoddepends on the MF and the sample volume (direct o

24、rcentrifuged, etc.) examined.6. Interferences6.1 Some metalworking fluid formulations fail to com-pletely dry or provide an uneven film on the microscope slide(for example, synthetic fluids and metalworking fluids withhigh trap tramp oil content and debris). For these samples theresults can be diffi

25、cult to interpret as heat fixing may notprovide full adherence. These samples should be re-stained ora new slide may be prepared.6.2 A negative acid fast staining reaction does not necessar-ily indicate that a sample will be culturally negative forMycobacteria since the culture method has a lower de

26、tectionlimit (1 cell/mL) than the DMC method.7. Apparatus7.1 Centrifuge, (“microfuge”) 14,000 relative gravities.7.2 Centrifuge tubes with caps, disposable, 1 mL-2 mLcapacity, such as Eppendorf SafeLock Tube or any othersuitable centrifuge tubes.7.3 Calibrated variable pipet, with sterile tips: 5 L,

Hazards9.1 The analyst must know and observe

31、good laboratorypractices and safety procedures required in the microbiologylaboratory in preparing, using and disposing of cultures,reagents and materials.10. Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units10.1 Use sterile screw-capped plastic containers (100 to 200mL) for microbiological sampling of metal

32、working fluids. Thesample should be a random representative portion of 50 to 100mL that is from the circulating tank opposed to a pooled,spillover or stagnant hose contents. Refrigerate samples untilanalyzed. Maximum sample storage time is 24 h at refrigera-tion temperatures. Follow sample documenta

33、tion procedure inaccordance with good laboratory practices.11. Procedure11.1 Gently agitate sample to re-suspend any sediment.Dispense 1 mL directly into the centrifuge tube. In the case ofvery viscous fluids, a 1-g sample should be weighed on ananalytical balance.11.2 Centrifuge samples at 13.000 r

34、elative gravities for 30minutes at 22C.11.3 Remove supernatant gently using a disposable micropi-pet end.E2564 13211.4 Remove oily residues completely from the tube using asterile cotton swab. Gently remove the whole pellet with asterile loop or a micropipet end without disturbing the sedi-ment.11.5

35、 Transfer the whole amount of sediment to the 1-cm2designated area on the microscope slide and spread it evenlyusing a disposable pipet end.11.6 Dry slides over a level drying box at 50 to 60C forminimum of one hour. Some fluid formulations require longerdrying time. These samples can be dried as lo

36、ng as overnighton the drying box. The slides that remain oily even after theextended drying time are usually the result of a poorly decantedtube and for these samples the slide preparation must berepeated.11.7 Heat-fix the dried slides by gently passing the slidethrough a flame fast once or twice. T

37、he heat-fixed slide shouldbe warm, not hot after flaming. In order to avoid overheatingthe slides the flaming can be substituted by a standardtemperature heat block at 75C for 10 to 20 minutes. Afterheat-fixing the slides, stain them using an acid-fast staining kit:for example, Modified Kinyoun Stai

38、ning Kit, although otheracid-fast staining methods can also be used.11.8 If the Modified Kinyoun Acid Fast Staining Method isused:11.8.1 Flood slide with TB Quick Stain Carbol-FuchsinReagent A for 4 to 5 minutes.11.8.2 Rinse slide gently with water. Start rinsing on thefrosted part of the slide, not

39、 directly on the sample. Gentlyremove excess water.NOTE 1The stain is viscous and will not completely clear11.8.3 Flood slide with TB Acid Alcohol Decolorizer for15-30 seconds.11.8.4 Rinse slide gently with water until rinse water ismostly clear. Gently remove excess water.11.8.5 Counterstain slide

40、with TB Quick Stain MethyleneBlue / Reagent B for 4 to 5 minutes. (Staining with BrilliantGreen for 30 seconds can replace Methylene Blue.)11.8.6 Rinse slide under running water, g.11.8.7 Place slide on a drying rack and dry it completely11.9 Direct Microscopic Counting11.10 Calibrate the microscope

41、 for the Oil Field (OIF) area,which is a single microscopic field that can be seen by the eyepiece.11.10.1 Use a stage micrometer slide with 0.1 and 0.01-mmdivisions to determine the diameter of one field under the oilimmersion lens. Make the reading to the third decimal point.11.10.2 Determine the

42、area of the OIF (r2)inmm2.11.10.3 Convert the OIF area to cm2.11.10.4 Determine the number of OIFs in 1 cm2. Thisnumber will provide the Microscopic Factor (MF) for 1 mL ofsample if the whole sediment is examined. (If less than 1-mLsample volume (for example, 10 L or 5 L) is examined, thedilution fa

43、ctor has to be considered for calculation of 1-mLsample.)11.10.5 Place slide under low power dry (10) objective andscan the slide for evenness of the sample distribution. If thesample appears to be even, move the slide so that the frostededge of the widest diameter is centered in your field of view.

44、Place oil over the sample and change to oil immersionobjective (100) at the edge of the frosted circle.11.10.6 Start examination by slowly rolling and focusing fora full diameter of the designated 1-cm2area counting thenumber of mycobacteria in each field as you go. If themycobacteria count is high

45、(50/OIF) count only 5 OIFs. Forsamples with very low count (1/OIF) continue to count thefull diameter of the 1-cm2area (50-55 OIFs) For samples with(30/OIF) AFB count 20-25 OIFs.NOTE 2Slides that have oil or debris may be difficult to count. In thiscase the slide could be re-stained or a new slide m

46、ay be prepared. A handtally or an electrical counter can be used to keep track with the number ofOIFs and the total number of AFBs counted.12. Calculation or Interpretation of Results12.1 To obtain estimates of mycobacteria per mL of metal-working fluid, the average number of mycobacteria per oneOIF

47、 is multiplied by the calculated MF for the volume ofsample examined. Use the following equation to calculate thetotal mycobacteria count per mL of metal working fluidsample:Total mycobacteria per mL5Sum of AFB counts in all OIFs examined 3 MFNumber of OIFs countedWhere MF is the Microscopic Factor

48、calculated for 1-mLsample volume. If less than 1 mL of sample is examined (forexample, 10 L) dilution factor of 100 has to be taken intoconsideration when calculating the concentration for 1-mLsample.13. Report13.1 Report mycobacterium count per mL of metalworkingfluid sample.14. Precision and Bias1

49、4.1 PrecisionSince precision will depend on the fluids,challenge microbes, and microbicide treatments used to per-form individual investigations, no statement on precision ismade.14.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for the bias in this practice, no statement on bias ismade.15.
