Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular-Based Testing

Excellence through service

Eurofins DPT supports the safe and compatible transplant of donor organs and tissues. This requires testing donor specimens using FDA-approved screening kits and reporting data that confirms the release to transplant. Eurofins DPT sets itself apart by its commitment to its customers and its quality of performance. By providing an array of service offerings, Eurofins DPT delivers consistent performance that exceeds client expectations.

Our focus

Eurofins DPT's focus is performing donor eligibility screening and microbiology testing, using the most appropriate regulated testing technologies for the transplant and medical communities. Eurofins DPT brings together a diverse professional team with experience in testing, quality, regulatory, and customer service.

Donor eligibility screening

We perform infectious disease testing by serological and nucleic acid methodologies. Analyzed pathogens depend on the tissue or cells tested as prescribed by 21 CFR 1271. In addition to HIV and Hepatitis testing, which are routinely performed in all donors, additional screening may include West Nile Virus, EBV, Chagas, Strongyloides, Toxoplasmosis, Human T-lymphotropic virus and Cytomegalovirus (CMV). Reproductive donors must always be tested for Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea.

HCT/P testing requirements

Assay offerings include:

  • HIV 1/2
  • Hepatitis B surface antigen
  • Hepatitis C
  • Hepatitis B core
  • Syphilis
  • HTLV I/II
  • CMV
  • Chlamydia/gonorrhea DNA
  • Trypanosoma cruzi
  • HIV-1/HCV/HBV nucleic acid test
  • WNV nucleic acid test
  • Confirmatory assays

Donor Eligibility Testing Services Support:

  • Solid Organ Transplantation
  • Musculoskeletal Tissues
  • Cornea
  • Cord Blood/Bone Marrow/Cellular Therapies
  • Reproductive Health

HLA Testing

Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) testing is used to successfully match organ transplant recipients with compatible donors. Matching of the donor antigens in the recipient improves long-term graft survival and lowers rejection rates as well as incidents of infection due to decreased use of immunosuppression.

United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Microbiology Testing

Microbiology testing is used to assess the overall microbial cleanliness of the manufacturing environment and process. To satisfy regulatory agency requirements, cultures of the human cellular and tissue product (HCT/Ps) are taken prior to the process, during the process and at final release of the product. All that is intended to reduce and eliminate microorganisms that would compromise the recipient of the transplanted product. We also offer consultative services to processors to ensure that the appropriate testing methodology is used.

Eurofins DPT offers traditional microbiology assays that support the transplant community. Testing methods are based upon <USP> and industry standards.

Bacterial/fungal/yeast identification

Expand_img

Eurofins DPT utilizes matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization – Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry instruments as the primary means of microorganism identification. The instruments identify approximately 80% of the bacterial isolates recovered or received by the laboratory. VITEK-2 instruments as well as rapid identification panels are also used for supplemental testing as companion testing to the MALDI-TOFs, as needed. In addition to our two (2) MALDI-TOF and Vitek-2 instruments, Eurofins DPT utilizes traditional biochemical methods to supplement microorganism identifications. Sequencing can also be performed at request by Eurofins Lancaster laboratories. The critical factor in offering these identifications is the competency and experience of the microbiologist.  Eurofins DPT microbiologists have years of experience in the culture and identification of organisms recovered from HCT/Ps and from the environment.

Bioburden

Expand_img

This test determines the total number of viable microorganisms in or on a component. It is performed on any product that requires control and/or monitoring of bioburden counts as part of the sterilization program. Eurofins DPT performs bioburden testing according to the United States Pharmacopeia Chapters <61> on Microbial Enumeration Tests, as well as applicable AAMI Radiation Sterilization Standard (AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11137 and EO Sterilization Standard (AAMI/ISO 11135).

Environmental monitoring

Expand_img

Environmental monitoring programs are used to evaluate the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection procedures and to assess the overall microbial cleanliness of the manufacturing environment.

Eurofins DPT offers consultation to aid in the establishment and maintenance of cost-effective programs to meet FDA requirements for monitoring the microbial cleanliness of the manufacturing environment and the assessment and efficacy of the production area disinfection procedures. Our qualified staff can train personnel in the proper collection of microbial environmental samples. Eurofins DPT supplies all necessary media and swabs to successfully meet the needs of the environmental monitoring program.

Method suitability

Expand_img

As a precursor to product sterility testing, Eurofins DPT offers this test to satisfy regulatory requirements. Testing establishes if the design processes inhibits the growth of fungus or bacteria. If microorganisms cannot be recovered from the sample in growth media due to the presence of residual antimicrobials or processing chemicals, subsequent tests using larger volumes of media or neutralizers may be used to compensate for any inhibiting effects. This test determines how the client product will be tested. Customized detailed reports are provided to the client for their quality and regulatory needs.

Microbial limits

Expand_img

This test consists of a quantitative microbial assessment for bacterial, yeast, mold and a screening for the presence of Staphyloccus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Gram-negative bacteria, Enteroccocus species, Enterobacteriaceae, Clostridium species, yeast and fungus or other specific organisms of interest. Enumeration methods can use membrane filtration with plate counts or if the product naturally has a low bioburden, the Most Probable Number Method may be used.

Pre-sterilization/pre-disinfection

Expand_img

To satisfy AATB, FDA, and  other regulatory agency requirements, cultures are taken of the HCT/P prior to any processing steps that are intended to reduce and eliminate microorganisms that would compromise the recipient of transplanted product. For musculoskeletal recovered tissues, Eurofins DPT has validated both the Amies without charcoal culturette and the E-Swab transport system. Extractions with filtration, direct inoculation of tissue pieces or transport solutions can be used to provide that information as well. Eurofins DPT can consult with processors to assist in the decision of the type of sample to be submitted for these cultures.

Product sterility

Expand_img

This test evaluates samples for sterility by placing them in the appropriate growth promotion media, incubating them for a minimum of 14 days, and checking them for evidence of microbial growth. Samples may be tested using either direct transfer or membrane filtration. Product sterility testing is performed according to the recommendations in USP General Chapter <71> and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11737-2. Product sterility test methods are validated by performing a Method Suitability (Bacteriostasis/Fungistasis) test.

Eurofins Donor and Product Testing provides multiple web resources to assist our customers with their day-to-day operations.

Test Changes

A test may be cancelled by the ordering client with no charge incurred prior to initiation of testing at Eurofins DPT. The client must provide written confirmation of the test cancellation. Eurofins DPT begins processing each sample immediately upon receipt. If cancellation request is sent after sample receipt, there is no guarantee that the cancellation will be processed prior to testing.

Eurofins DPT will make every effort to accommodate a client’s request to add or change a test, as long as there is adequate sample and/or appropriate sample type to perform the requested test. If a verbal or phone request to add or change a test is received from the ordering client, the entire order is read back to verify accuracy. A written authorization from the ordering client is required within 30 days of the request. Secondary clients may order additional tests such as confirmatory tests, if a confirmatory reflex agreement is not in effect, after written authorization from the primary client is received.
