Product appearance, specifications, and/or prices are subject to change without notice. Purity levels Importance of purity factors Sterility Importance In general, a product is defined as being sterile when no living organisms are present on its surface. However, a more accurate definition of sterility would be “the probability of one unsterile object being present among a number of sterile objects.” Sterile products are required whenever the presence of germs may have a negative effect; for example, in the prevention of infection of samples or incorrect test results for microbiological experiments that would be caused by unsterile lab equipment. An adequate indicator for reliable sterilization is a probability value of one in a million that living microorganisms shall be present on an object following a sterilization procedure. This is equivalent to an SAL (Sterility Assurance Level) of 10-6, i.e., in a sample with 106 (1,000,000) microorganisms, one single microorganism survives, or alternatively, a mass of 106 (1,000,000) objects shall contain one nonsterile object following sterilization. For sterilization via irradiation, many directives stipulate a dose of 25 kGy to attain an SAL of 10-6. This also applies to medicinal products that come into direct contact with the human body. Importance Thermostable substances (glycoproteins) from the outer membrane of bacteria and other microorganisms can cause fever in humans and impair the growth of cell cultures. Absence of pyrogen prevents endotoxin-based contamination in drug manufacture, cell culture and medical laboratories. DNA-free Importance DNA is found in all cells of living entities, and it is the carrier of all genetic information. The highly sensitive PCR technique now enables the detection of individual molecules. The presence of DNA could lead to falsepositive results for different applications involving DNA (e.g., additional bands, positive “negative controls”). Note: Autoclaving does not remove traces of DNA. Free of human DNA Importance To eliminate this potential source of contamination, the consumables are tested for the presence of human DNA. Even a single cell (e.g., skin particles) would be detected in the test. Manufacturing is virtually fully automated and monitored by staff wearing protective clothing. Tests for human DNA prevent consumables from containing DNA that could lead to false-positive results (e.g., genetic tests in forensics) RNase-free Importance RNases are enzymes that degrade RNA, the read copy of DNA. These enzymes are extremely resistant, even to autoclaving and irradiation. RNase-free products are an absolute must in the field of molecular biology because RNA is highly sensitive and can be destroyed very quickly by RNases. ATP-free Importance ATP is an energy-rich molecule that is part of all living cells; therefore, its presence can indicate biological contamination. The test procedure for the quantitative and qualitative detection of ATP is already an integral part of hygiene monitoring, e.g., in the pharmaceutical industry. Free of PCR inhibitors Importance PCR—the replication of DNA—has developed into one of the most important and commonplace molecular biology methods used in medical diagnostics, genetic counseling and all basic biological research. However, there are also substances that impair this reaction, so lab products must be free of these inhibitors. It is essential that consumables used contain no impurities that could adversely affect PCR. This is particularly crucial for the amplification of minute quantities of genetic substances and for quantitative PCRs.
