Abstract
Bacterial contamination can confound the results of in vitro and in vivo preclinical tests. This protocol describes a procedure for detection of microbial contamination in nanotechnology-based formulations. Nanoparticle samples and controls are spread on the surface of agar and growth of bacterial colonies is monitored after 72h of incubation. The intended purpose of this assay is to avoid introduction of microbial contamination into in vitro cell cultures and in vivo animal studies utilizing the test nanomaterial. This assay is not intended to certify the material as sterile.
