What is a necessary action when testing for pyrogen or sterility in a lab?

Using unverified lab animals
Ensuring lab animals are fed and housed adequately
Conducting tests without any protocols
None of the above

The correct answer is: Ensuring lab animals are fed and housed adequately

Ensuring lab animals are fed and housed adequately is crucial when testing for pyrogens or sterility. Animal welfare directly impacts the validity of the results in such tests. If the animals are not properly cared for, it could lead to stress, illness, or abnormal physiological responses, which could skew the results and make them less reliable. Additionally, ethical considerations necessitate the humane treatment of lab animals to comply with regulatory standards and best practices in research. This action not only supports the integrity of the testing process but is also aligned with the principles of good laboratory practice (GLP) and guidelines established by regulatory bodies. Such care enables more accurate detection of pyrogens and maintains sterility conditions, which are fundamental in pharmaceutical testing.
