The Cost of Cell Culture Contamination
Cell culture is expensive. But the cost of contamination of cell culture can be exorbitant. Sometimes the offenders are overt, causing media to turn opaque and milky or cells to suddenly become bespeckled, and you can cut your losses and start fresh. Other times, mycoplasma can run amok for months, invisible and odious, causing experiments to go haywire. A few years ago, researchers estimated that mycoplasma had the potential to affect hundreds of millions of dollars of NIH-funded research. And then there is contamination hiding in plain sight—misidentified cell lines, able to jeopardize years of experiments.
FDA Adds Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide as Established Sterilization Method for Medical Devices
Issued in early January, the FDA’s revised Guidance document, “Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Devices Labeled as Sterile,” updates information regarding recommended sterilization methods for medical devices deemed sterile. In addition to traditional methods of sterilization, such as steam, dry heat, ethylene oxide (EO), and radiation, the updated Guidance now includes H2O2 as a Category A sterilization method.
