Rapid microbiological assay for chlorhydroxyquinoline that uses a cryogenically stored inoculum.

Abstract

A rapid microbiological assay for chlorhydroxyquinoline is described. It is a turbidimetric procedure that uses Streptococcus faecalis as the test organism. Results are available within 5 h. Data are presented to show the advantages of using a cryogenically stored inoculum over an inoculum prepared on a daily basis.

[Control program of interlaboratory quality for the assay of cyclosporine in biological fluids].

The following article deals with the quality control program proposed since 1988 to the French laboratories performing the measurement of cyclosporine concentration in whole blood or in plasma. First, we describe how the program was organized and its evolution over time. Second, we discuss the main results generated. Those results enable us to state positively that the methods in use at present in the laboratories are precise and give highly reproducible results.
