WORKOUT CLOTHES
The right athletic clothing helps you move better and feel better—it’s the performance-booster your workout needs.
And the latest athletic styles are designed with your busy lifestyle in mind. Think lightweight layers, stretchable knits and technical fabric that wicks away sweat. It’s easier to push the pace in gear designed for motion.
So find the gear your training needs. Start off with the basics—like breezy T-shirts, tanks and athletic pants that move with you as you’re training. Layer up with sleek baselayers, hoodies and zip-up jackets. You’ll feel comfortable in ultra-soft textures, breathable fabrics and second-skin fits. Sport-specific apparel is designed for the rigors of your game. Runners love streamlined cuts and airy fabrics, and basketball players love the roomy fit of a jersey or relaxed tee. Look as great as you feel in cool prints, hues and cuts.
The Necessity of APIs and Endotoxin Detection in Pharmaceuticals
Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are the essential components in drugs responsible for their therapeutic effects. Without APIs, medications would lack the active substance required to treat, prevent, or diagnose medical conditions. APIs must be of high quality, and their formulation can be complex, requiring precise standards in production. There are two main types of APIs:
- Synthetic APIs: Chemically manufactured, commonly used in most medications.
- Biological APIs: Derived from living organisms, often used in advanced therapies like biologics and vaccines.
Endotoxin Detection is critical in ensuring the safety of pharmaceuticals, particularly in injectable and implantable products. Endotoxins, harmful components of certain bacterial cell walls, can cause severe reactions in humans. Detecting and eliminating these contaminants is essential. Key endotoxin detection methods include:
- Gel Clot Assay: A qualitative method that detects endotoxins through clot formation.
- Chromogenic Assay: A quantitative approach that uses color change to indicate endotoxin presence.
- Turbidimetric Assay: Measures endotoxins by detecting the cloudiness (turbidity) of a solution when endotoxins are present.
Both APIs and endotoxin detection ensure the effectiveness, safety, and compliance of pharmaceutical products.
WHAT IS A COSMETIC?
Most of us use cosmetics everyday and we “know them when we see them”. However, if I was to ask you whether you thought your toothpaste, suntan lotion, lip balm, mouthwash or anti-dandruff shampoo were cosmetics, I might get a range of opinions.A key point about the OED definition is that cosmetics are superficial rather than therapeutic agents. Cosmetics are not ‘over the counter’ (OTC) or prescription drugs or drug additives, their role is merely to improve your appearance. This seems straight forward until you look at the full range of products that might fit this definition.
- soaps and other body cleansing products;
- creams, lotions, face masks, powders and colours for the skin, eyes and lips;
- shampoos, lotions, oils, waving agents, fixatives, bleaches, dyes and dye removers for the hair;

- skin bleaching and skin tanning preparations;
