Hemolysis Assay

The hemolysis assay is used to determine the hemolytic effect of a test compound.


Hemolytic activity is a requirement to be tested for any blood contacting medical device. The test is based on erythrocyte lysis induced by contact, leachables, toxins, metal ions, surface charge or any other cause of erythrocyte lysis. The current description is based on direct contact of biomaterial and an erythrocyte suspension. The method is based on release of hemoglobin, which can be measured spectrophotometrically. This method is suited to evaluate the hemocompatibility of biomaterials and medical devices according to the international standard ISO 10993-4:2002.

The Hemolysis test is designed to determine the hemolytic properties of a medical device/material. This test is performed on medical devices/materials that have direct or indirect blood contact.

  • Evaluate your small molecule, biologic, or formulation excipients for its potential to lyse red blood cells
  • Personalized experimental design to ensure the most relevant data is obtained with the options to examine all relevant in vivo pharmacologically relevant blood from appropriate species
  • All assays are performed with high-quality reagents and strict controls by experienced immunologists

Required from Customer

  • Either a minimum of 300 µL of test compound at 10 mM in DMSO, or 5 mg of powder
  • Molecular mass (exact mass) of the test compound and its salt form
  • MSDS and handling and storage information, e.g., light sensitive, store at -20°C, etc.

Deliverables

  • Percent of hemolysis in each sample
  • Rate of hemolysis, if applicable

Substrate

  • Test compound dissolved in DMSO applied to a suspension of red blood cells in isotonic buffer or plasma. The final dosing concentration is typically 10 uM or the clinical Cmax

Assay System

  • A suspension of red blood cells from a species specified by the customer
  • The positive control: red blood cells treated with 0.1% SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) to produce 100% hemolysis
  • The negative control: red blood cells treated with DMSO

Hemolysis Assay Conditions

  • Prepare three separate test tubes (N=3) containing red blood cells dosed with the test compound dissolved in DMSO
  • Incubated at 37°C in a water bath with mild agitation
  • Sample each replicate at 0, 5, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes
  • Centrifuge each sample
  • Measure the absorbance of the supernatant from each sample using a UV/Vis spectrometer
  • Calculate percent hemolysis at each sampling time point

Hemolysis Assay Dynamic Range

  •  Hemolysis can be determined from between 10 and 100% with a typical precision (N=3) of 10%

Hemolysis Assay QC

  • Positive and negative controls run with each compound

Options

The customer may select:

  • either the basic, standard or custom report format
  • the species of blood donor plasma or isotonic buffer

The customer can request:

  • additional replicates
  • the use of a control buffer in which the stability of the test compound is measured
  • the concentration of the test compound

A Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Alkylation of Aryl Bromides and Chlorides for Sp3-Sp2 Bond Formation

  In 2012, a nickel-catalyzed reductive alkylation method of aryl bromides and chlorides was reported. Under the optimized conditions, a variety of aryl and vinyl bromides as well as active aryl chloride can be reductively coupled with alkyl bromides in high yields. The protocols were highly functional-group tolerant and the reactions were not air or moisture sensitive. The reaction showed different chemoselectivity than conventional cross-coupling reactions. Substrates bearing both anelectrophilic and nucleophilic carbon resulted in selective coupling at the electrophilic carbon (R-X) and no reaction occurred at the nucleophilic carbon (R-[M]). The 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling, and in the past decade the progress in cross-coupling has not only had a significant impact on academic research but has also influenced the industrial synthetic application. The transition-metal-catalyzed union of nucleophilic organo-boronic acids with elect...

What is Toxicokinetics?

Toxicokinetics  is essentially the study of “how a substance gets into the body and what happens to it in the body”. Four processes are involved in toxicokinetics. The study of the kinetics (movement) of chemicals was originally conducted with pharmaceuticals and thus the term pharmacokinetics became commonly used. In addition, toxicology studies were initially conducted with drugs. However, the science of toxicology has evolved to include environmental and occupational chemicals as well as drugs. Toxicokinetics is thus the appropriate term for the study of the kinetics of all toxic substances. Frequently the terms  toxicokinetics ,  pharmacokinetics , or disposition may be found in the literature to have the same meaning. Disposition is often used in place of toxicokinetics to describe the time-course of movement of chemicals through the body (that is, how does the body dispose of a xenobiotic?). The disposition of a toxicant along with its’ biological reactivi...
