The use of thermal lensing for the determination of pyrogens.
Based on the optimized spectrophotometric determination of pyrogens (of various classes ( p-aminophenol and endotoxins), thermal lensing was applied to the determination of these substances at the submicrogram level. The limit of detection of p-aminophenol, a pyrogenic impurity in pharmaceutical formulations of paracetamol, by reaction with resorcinol in alkaline solutions is 100 ng mL(-1). Phloroglucinol was considered as an analog of resorcinol as a reagent in this reaction. The conditions of spectrophotometric determination of pyrogenic lipopolysaccharides (endotoxins) by ion-pair formation with methylene blue (the limit of detection is 100 ng mL(-1)), by ion-pair formation with Stains-All (1-ethyl-2-[3-(1-ethylnaphtho[1,2-d]thiazolin-2-ylidene)-2-methylpropenyl]naphtho[1,2-d]thiazolium bromide) (the limit of detection is 500 ng mL(-1)), and by reaction of 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic acid with thiobarbituric acid (the limit of detection is 800 ng mL(-1)) were proposed. The optimized procedure for 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonic acid was applied for thermal lensing that provided a decrease in the limit of detection to 70 ng mL(-1) and was also used for lipopolysaccharide determination in the endotoxin standard from E. coli.
