Science / testing for endotoxins
French term or phrase: Eppi
I found, in Google, an explanation: eau preparation pour injectable.

Does anyone know what the English would be? I understand it should mean a concentration of endotoxins in water, to test against the endotoxins in the sample to be tested.

I don't think your explanation is right


Explanation:
Sorry I'm not offering an answer, but EPPI as eau préparation pour injectable only come up by fluke on the same page as endotoxin, because it is a glossary and they both appear in it as separate entries. I think you'd have to provide more context to get ideas from people about what EPPI means in your text.

agree  Yolanda Broad: Good guess about contiguity! I agree that kajuco needs to find, or examine, the wider context: "eau préparation..." does not fit with "endotoxin"

aqueous solution


Explanation:
I'm not entirely sure for lack of context, but I think they are referring to the aqueous medium in which you are to dilute the substance to be tested prior to injecting it.
